About
Maaike Anna Catharina de Koff is a leading researcher in biomedical engineering, specializing in the objective quantification of neuromuscular disorders through instrumented diagnostic devices. Her primary research focuses on developing and validating robotic and sensor-based tools to measure viscoelastic joint properties and spasticity in patients with upper motor neuron lesions, aiming to replace subjective clinical scales with precise, evidence-based diagnostics. Her most impactful work, a systematic review on the diagnostic levels of evidence for these devices (2022, 18 citations), critically evaluates the gap between advanced engineering solutions and clinical adoption, highlighting the need for standardized validation protocols. de Koff’s contributions bridge engineering and clinical practice, offering a roadmap for integrating objective measures into routine care. Her research is pivotal for advancing personalized rehabilitation and spasticity management, with her systematic review serving as a foundational reference for researchers and clinicians seeking to improve diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes in neurorehabilitation.
