About

Ilse Lamers is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, specializing in upper limb recovery for people with multiple sclerosis (MS) and stroke. Her work centers on integrating robotic technology and virtual learning environments to improve motor function and quality of life. Lamers has made major contributions by demonstrating the efficacy of robot-supported upper limb training, as shown in her pilot randomized controlled trial (71 citations), and by developing individualized training regimes like the I-TRAVLE system (48 citations). Her systematic review on upper limb rehabilitation in MS (120 citations) has become a foundational resource in the field. She has also advanced the assessment of proprioceptive and sensorimotor impairments, designing robotic devices for precise hand function evaluation (20 citations) and validating their clinical usability (10 citations). Through her involvement in the EU COST Action Network on Robotics for Neurorehabilitation, she has helped establish consensus on evaluation methods (26 citations). Lamers’s work bridges engineering and clinical practice, offering evidence-based solutions that address fatigue, motor deficits, and daily activity performance. Her research continues to shape personalized, technology-driven rehabilitation strategies for neurological populations.
