About

Lize Kleeren is a rising researcher in pediatric neurorehabilitation, with a focused expertise in unilateral cerebral palsy (uCP) and the use of robotic technology to assess and understand motor and sensory impairments in children. Her work centers on quantifying bimanual coordination, proprioception, and somatosensory function using the Kinarm exoskeleton robot, a cutting-edge tool that provides objective, high-resolution data. Kleeren’s major contributions include developing reliable robotic assessments for hand position sense in children with uCP, as demonstrated in her 2022 study (7 citations), and providing the first in-depth, multi-task quantification of bimanual coordination deficits, published in 2023 (17 citations). She has also explored the complex interplay between visual function and bimanual performance (2024, 10 citations), and is currently mapping tactile and proprioceptive impairments across both the more- and less-impaired upper limb (2025). Her work is notable for bridging the gap between robotic data and clinical interpretation, offering new pathways for personalized rehabilitation. With a growing citation record and a clear translational focus, Kleeren is establishing herself as a key voice in the objective assessment of pediatric upper limb function.
