About
Elise Dusseldorp is a leading researcher in rehabilitation technology and geriatric care, with a focus on developing and evaluating robotic interventions for post-stroke recovery. Her major contribution lies in the design and clinical assessment of the ACRE (ACtive REhabilitation) robotic training device, which enhances upper limb therapy for frail elderly stroke patients. Her landmark 2011 randomized controlled trial and cost-effectiveness study, cited 9 times, demonstrated that ACRE training can be a valuable addition to standard therapy in nursing homes, improving motor outcomes while remaining economically viable. This work bridges engineering and clinical practice, addressing the critical need for accessible, evidence-based rehabilitation solutions for aging populations. Dusseldorp’s research has shaped guidelines for integrating robotics into geriatric stroke care, with her findings influencing subsequent trials and technology adoption. Her achievement lies in translating complex robotic systems into practical, patient-centered tools that improve quality of life, making her a key figure in neurorehabilitation and assistive technology.
