About
Dr. Lucie Pelland is a leading researcher in pediatric rehabilitation and sensory-motor neuroscience, with a particular focus on the assessment and treatment of motor deficits in children with neurodevelopmental disorders. Her major contributions center on the innovative use of robotic virtual reality platforms to quantify subtle sensory-motor impairments that traditional clinical tools often miss. In her highly cited 2013 study, she demonstrated how these technologies can precisely characterize deficits in children with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), revealing objective, measurable differences in movement control and coordination. This work has been cited over 34 times, establishing a new paradigm for objective, technology-based assessment in pediatric rehabilitation. Dr. Pelland’s research bridges engineering, neuroscience, and clinical practice, offering more sensitive diagnostic tools and paving the way for targeted interventions. Her achievements highlight the power of interdisciplinary approaches to improve outcomes for children with complex developmental conditions, making her a pivotal figure in the advancement of precision rehabilitation.
