About
Henk A.M. Seelen is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, specializing in the development and evaluation of technology-assisted therapies for individuals with neurological impairments. His primary research areas include robot-supported task-oriented training, upper limb rehabilitation after stroke and spinal cord injury, and the use of accelerometry to measure real-world functional outcomes. Seelen’s major contributions center on demonstrating the efficacy of robot-mediated training for chronic stroke patients, as evidenced by his highly cited 2014 randomized controlled trial (121 citations), which showed significant improvements in arm function, activity, and quality of life. He also pioneered the T-TOAT method, a skill training approach designed for seamless integration into rehabilitation technology, and explored adaptive training systems like I-TRAVLE for both stroke and multiple sclerosis populations. His work on using accelerometers to objectively assess home-based arm use (57 citations) has advanced outcome measurement in rehabilitation. With a career spanning feasibility studies to randomized trials, Seelen’s research has consistently bridged the gap between innovative technology and practical clinical application, making him a key figure in evidence-based neurorehabilitation.
