About
Maayken van den Berg is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of neurorehabilitation and stroke recovery, with a particular focus on gait therapy and post-stroke mood disturbances. Her most impactful contribution is a 2020 study on augmented performance feedback during robotic gait therapy, which demonstrated that such feedback can elicit moderate-intensity cardiovascular exercise in subacute stroke patients—a finding that bridges the gap between rehabilitation and cardiovascular health, earning 17 citations. She has also advanced clinical decision-making with an exploratory algorithm to guide locomotor therapy modality selection, published in 2021. More recently, van den Berg addressed the critical but often-overlooked area of post-stroke mood disorders with a 2024 systematic review of non-pharmacological interventions for depression, anxiety, and pseudobulbar affect, highlighting the need for clearer treatment pathways. Her work is characterized by a practical, patient-centered approach that seeks to translate complex rehabilitation science into actionable clinical tools. With a growing citation footprint, van den Berg is establishing herself as a key voice in optimizing both physical and psychological recovery after stroke.
