About
Helga Haberfehlner is a leading researcher in pediatric neurology and motor function assessment, with a primary focus on dyskinetic cerebral palsy (DCP). Her most impactful work, the 2020 systematic review "Instrumented assessment of motor function in dyskinetic cerebral palsy," has garnered 59 citations and serves as a cornerstone for clinicians and scientists seeking objective, technology-driven methods to evaluate motor impairments in children and young adults with DCP. In this seminal paper, Haberfehlner systematically classified instrumented measurements—ranging from wearable sensors to motion capture systems—that assess motor impairments, activity limitations, and participation restrictions, providing a critical framework for standardizing assessment protocols. Her contributions have advanced the field by bridging the gap between subjective clinical observation and quantitative, reproducible data, enabling more precise tracking of disease progression and treatment efficacy. Haberfehlner’s work is particularly notable for its emphasis on translating engineering solutions into meaningful clinical outcomes, empowering researchers and therapists to tailor interventions for this underserved population. Through her rigorous synthesis of evidence, she has established herself as a key figure in the movement toward personalized, data-driven rehabilitation for children with complex movement disorders.
