About
Mirjam Klaiber is a leading researcher in pediatric rehabilitation robotics, with a primary focus on improving mobility outcomes for children and adolescents with cerebral palsy and other gait impairments. Her most influential work, a 2010 study on robotic-assisted treadmill therapy, demonstrated significant improvements in both walking and standing performance in this population, accumulating over 170 citations and establishing a foundational evidence base for the clinical adoption of this technology. Complementing this, Klaiber conducted a critical bi-centre survey assessing the safety of robotic-assisted treadmill therapy, reporting on adverse events across 89 patients to ensure that these interventions are not only effective but also safe for young users. Her research has been instrumental in bridging the gap between engineering innovation and clinical practice, providing therapists and clinicians with robust data to guide treatment decisions. By rigorously evaluating both efficacy and safety, Klaiber has helped pave the way for wider implementation of robotic gait training in pediatric rehabilitation, directly impacting the quality of life for children with movement disorders.
