About
Liliane Raess is a pioneering researcher in pediatric neurorehabilitation, with a focus on robotic-assisted therapy for children with cerebral palsy (CP). Her work bridges cutting-edge technology and clinical care, exploring how robotic exoskeletons and neuromodulation can improve mobility and function in children with severe motor impairments. In her landmark 2021 case study (30 citations), Raess demonstrated the feasibility of a robotic lower extremity gait trainer for a non-ambulatory child with CP, offering a non-invasive alternative to conventional treatments. She further advanced the field in 2022 with a pilot clinical trial (6 citations) that combined robotic upper extremity rehabilitation with transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in children with bilateral CP, assessing the safety and tolerability of this dual intervention. Raess’s work is notable for its translational impact, directly addressing the unmet needs of children who have limited treatment options. Her research not only provides evidence for novel therapeutic approaches but also sets the stage for larger clinical trials. By integrating robotics with neurostimulation, Raess is shaping the future of pediatric rehabilitation, offering hope for improved quality of life in children with cerebral palsy.
