About
Marijke Van Kampen is a leading researcher in urological rehabilitation, with a primary focus on pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) and functional recovery after radical prostatectomy. Her work has fundamentally shaped postoperative care for prostate cancer patients, demonstrating that preoperative PFMT significantly improves continence outcomes compared to postoperative training alone—a finding published in a randomized controlled trial that has garnered 103 citations. She has also conducted pivotal comparative research on urinary incontinence and quality of life following open versus robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, with her 2013 study accumulating 89 citations and providing critical evidence for surgical decision-making. Additionally, Van Kampen has investigated the progression and predictors of physical activity levels after prostatectomy, identifying factors that influence patients' return to normal activity. Her research has had substantial clinical impact, helping to establish evidence-based rehabilitation protocols that improve patients' quality of life. Through her rigorous prospective studies and randomized trials, Van Kampen has become a key authority in post-prostatectomy functional outcomes, with her work cited extensively by urologists and physiotherapists worldwide.
