About
Kristine Woodward is a leading researcher in pediatric neurorehabilitation, with a focus on understanding brain plasticity and motor recovery in children with early brain injuries. Her work centers on perinatal stroke—the most common cause of unilateral cerebral palsy—and how sensory-motor networks reorganize after early-life injury. In her highly cited 2019 study, Woodward used resting-state functional MRI to examine sensory-motor network connectivity in children with unilateral cerebral palsy, revealing critical insights into how developmental plasticity shapes motor disability. This work, which has garnered 39 citations, provides a foundation for developing targeted rehabilitation strategies that leverage the brain’s inherent capacity for reorganization. Woodward’s research bridges clinical neurology and neuroimaging, offering a deeper understanding of how early brain insults alter functional networks and how these changes relate to real-world motor function. Her contributions are shaping evidence-based interventions for children with perinatal stroke, making her a key voice in pediatric neurorehabilitation and developmental neuroscience.
