About

Anne-Lise van Ommeren is a researcher whose work lies at the intersection of rehabilitation robotics, motor control, and human–machine interaction. Her primary research focuses on improving assistive technologies for stroke patients, particularly through the development and evaluation of soft-robotic gloves designed to enhance grip during daily activities. In her most cited study, "Detection of the intention to grasp during reach movements" (2018), she investigated the feasibility of detecting grasp intention earlier in the reach-to-grasp motion, aiming to make robotic assistance more intuitive and responsive. This work addresses a critical challenge in rehabilitation: reducing the delay between a user’s intent and the device’s response. While her citation count is still growing, the study has been recognized for its practical implications in neurorehabilitation and human–robot collaboration. Van Ommeren’s contributions are particularly valuable for students and researchers interested in the intersection of motor neuroscience, wearable robotics, and user-centered design. Her research underscores the importance of timing and prediction in assistive devices, offering a pathway toward more seamless and effective support for individuals with motor impairments.
