About
Anne Visser‐Meily is a leading clinical researcher in stroke rehabilitation, with a particular focus on upper limb recovery and the optimization of early intervention strategies. Her work is centered on understanding the critical time window for neuroplasticity and functional restoration after stroke. Her most cited paper, the design of the EXPLICIT-stroke programme (2008, 74 citations), established a foundational framework for investigating the impact of early applied upper limb stimulation. This study directly addressed the prevailing hypothesis that intensive, task-oriented rehabilitation within the first month post-stroke is crucial for maximizing recovery. Visser‐Meily’s contributions have helped shape clinical trial methodology in stroke rehabilitation, providing a rigorous template for testing early intervention efficacy. Her research bridges the gap between basic neuroscience and clinical practice, emphasizing the importance of timing and intensity in therapy. Through her work, she has significantly advanced the evidence base for early, targeted rehabilitation, influencing how clinicians approach upper limb recovery in the acute and subacute phases of stroke.
