About
Sandra Strazzer is a leading researcher in pediatric neurorehabilitation, specializing in motor recovery for children with acquired brain injury (ABI) and cerebral palsy. Her work centers on integrating cutting-edge technologies—robotic-assisted gait training, virtual reality platforms, and 3D gait analysis—to enhance walking ability and upper limb function in young patients. Strazzer’s major contributions include establishing the minimum clinically important difference (MCID) for the 6-minute walking test and Gross Motor Function Measure, a benchmark study cited 90 times that provides clinicians with a standard to gauge meaningful improvements. She has demonstrated the effectiveness of combined robotic-aided and physical therapy in improving functional abilities and hip kinematics, with her 2019 study on robot-assisted gait training in a large pediatric cohort (46 citations) highlighting its broad applicability. Her pioneering work on immersive virtual reality for gait rehabilitation (71 citations) underscores her commitment to engaging, patient-centered interventions. Strazzer’s research, spanning over 30 publications, has shaped evidence-based protocols for treating hemiplegia and motor impairment, making her a pivotal figure in translating technological innovation into tangible clinical outcomes for children.
