About
Yvonne Janssen-Potten is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a focus on restoring upper limb function after stroke through innovative technology and outcome measurement. Her work bridges the gap between clinical training and real-world impact, particularly in the use of robotic support for task-oriented arm-hand therapy. In her landmark 2014 randomized controlled trial, she demonstrated that accelerometry can objectively measure the transfer of robot-supported training gains to actual daily arm use in chronic stroke patients, a study that has garnered 57 citations and reshaped how rehabilitation outcomes are assessed. By validating wearable sensors as tools to capture home-based activity, she has advanced evidence-based practice in motor recovery. Her contributions are pivotal for researchers and clinicians seeking to quantify the effectiveness of neurorehabilitation technologies, ensuring that improvements seen in the lab translate into meaningful, functional gains in patients' lives.
