About
Thierry Lejeune is a prominent rehabilitation researcher whose work sits at the intersection of neurological recovery, robotics, and motor function. His research focuses primarily on post-stroke rehabilitation, upper limb motor recovery, and the application of robotic-assisted therapy in both adult and pediatric populations, including children with cerebral palsy. Lejeune has made substantial contributions to the field through his rigorous clinical trials and technological innovation. He has been instrumental in validating and advancing the REAplan robotic device as a precise, reliable tool for quantifying upper limb impairments and spasticity in stroke patients, bridging the gap between engineering and clinical practice. His randomized controlled trials examining robotic-assisted therapy — both in early stroke rehabilitation and in cerebral palsy — have helped establish evidence-based protocols now referenced widely across neurorehabilitation (earning over 100 citations each). His collaborative development of the ROBiGAME serious game further demonstrates his commitment to engaging, multimodal recovery approaches. With his 2020 review on gait rehabilitation post-stroke accumulating 160 citations and a 2022 network meta-analysis synthesizing emerging technologies, Lejeune continues shaping how clinicians understand and implement technology-driven rehabilitation, making him an essential reference for students and practitioners in neurological recovery science.
