About
Yves Vandermeeren is a leading researcher in stroke neurorehabilitation, specializing in the intersection of motor learning, robotics, and non-invasive brain stimulation. His work focuses on restoring bimanual coordination and upper limb function in chronic stroke patients, a critical yet often neglected aspect of recovery. Vandermeeren’s major contributions include demonstrating that robotic-assisted therapy can enhance bimanual motor skill learning, with studies showing significant improvements in patients with varying impairment levels. He has also explored the controversial role of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), finding that its combination with robotic therapy may boost efficacy, though results remain nuanced. His most cited work (2018, 29 citations) established the effectiveness of dual-tDCS paired with robotic rehabilitation, while his 2021 randomized controlled trial (25 citations) provided key evidence for robotic active-assisted training in bimanual tasks. Vandermeeren’s recent innovations include developing auto-adaptive serious games that integrate cognitive and motor rehabilitation (2025), and he is currently investigating the HABIT-ILE protocol for comprehensive recovery. With over 100 cumulative citations, his research directly informs clinical protocols for post-stroke neurorehabilitation, bridging cutting-edge technology with patient-centered outcomes.
