About
Dr. P.-H. De Deken is a leading researcher at the intersection of neurorehabilitation and assistive technology, with a primary focus on developing innovative robotic and game-based interventions for post-stroke recovery. Their most cited work, "Robotic-assisted serious game for motor and cognitive post-stroke rehabilitation" (2017, 36 citations), exemplifies their core contribution: designing integrated platforms that simultaneously address both motor and cognitive deficits—a holistic approach often missing in traditional rehabilitation. By creating the ROBiGAME system, De Deken pioneered a method that leverages robotic assistance and serious gaming to engage patients in repetitive, task-specific training, enhancing neuroplasticity and functional outcomes. This work has been influential in shaping the field of technology-mediated stroke therapy, demonstrating how interactive robotics can make rehabilitation more effective and motivating. De Deken’s research bridges engineering and clinical practice, offering scalable solutions for long-term disability management. Their contributions are particularly notable for their patient-centered design, which prioritizes engagement and dual-task training, setting a benchmark for future developments in robotic neurorehabilitation.
