About
Elise P. Jansma is a leading researcher in pediatric neurorehabilitation, with a primary focus on dyskinetic cerebral palsy (DCP) and the development of objective, instrumented assessments for motor function. Her most cited work, a 2020 systematic review, critically evaluated available instrumented measurements—such as wearable sensors and motion capture—to assess motor impairments, activity limitations, and participation restrictions in children and young adults with DCP. This foundational review, cited 59 times, provided a crucial classification framework that has guided subsequent research and clinical practice. Dr. Jansma’s contributions are particularly notable for bridging the gap between subjective clinical observation and quantitative, data-driven evaluation. By systematically cataloging and validating these tools, she has enabled more precise tracking of disease progression and treatment efficacy. Her work directly impacts the design of personalized rehabilitation strategies, offering hope for improved functional outcomes in a population often underserved by traditional assessment methods. Through her rigorous methodology and clear translational focus, Jansma has established herself as a key figure in advancing evidence-based, technology-enhanced care for children with complex movement disorders.
