About

Dr. L. van Dokkum is a leading researcher in the field of neurorehabilitation, with a primary focus on sensorimotor recovery following stroke. Her work critically bridges the gap between emerging technologies and clinical application, systematically evaluating how innovative tools—from robotics to virtual reality—can enhance motor function in patients with neurological impairments. Her landmark 2014 review, which has garnered 54 citations, provides a comprehensive synthesis of the literature from 1990 to 2013, offering a rigorous assessment of the validation status of these technologies. This work has become a foundational reference for clinicians and engineers alike, guiding the development of evidence-based rehabilitation protocols. Beyond this seminal review, Dr. van Dokkum’s contributions extend to refining outcome measures and understanding the neural mechanisms underlying motor learning in damaged systems. Her research is characterized by a meticulous, interdisciplinary approach that prioritizes translational impact, ensuring that laboratory innovations translate into tangible improvements in patient care. For students and researchers, her work exemplifies how systematic evidence synthesis can shape the future of neurorehabilitation.
