About

Dr. Katrin Campen is a leading figure in neurorehabilitation, whose work has fundamentally advanced the use of robotics to restore motor function after stroke. Her research focuses on the clinical translation of task-specific, three-dimensional robotic therapy for the upper and lower limbs. Dr. Campen’s most impactful contribution is her landmark multicentre, parallel-group randomised trial on three-dimensional, task-specific robot therapy for the arm after stroke, which has garnered over 525 citations and set a new standard for evidence-based neurorehabilitation. This study demonstrated that intensive, robot-assisted training can significantly improve arm function, directly influencing clinical protocols worldwide. She has also contributed to the restoration of walking through technology, exploring how robotic exoskeletons and assistive devices can be integrated into rehabilitation programs. Beyond her research, Dr. Campen is recognized for her work on bridging the gap between technological innovation and clinical application, ensuring that cutting-edge devices are effectively transferred from the lab to patient care. Her dedication to rigorous, patient-centered research continues to shape the future of stroke recovery and rehabilitation engineering.
