About
Peter Feys is a leading rehabilitation scientist whose work sits at the intersection of neurological rehabilitation, robotics, and technology-assisted therapy, with a particular focus on multiple sclerosis (MS) and stroke. His research has significantly advanced understanding of upper limb dysfunction in MS, a historically underexplored area, through both systematic reviews and innovative clinical trials. Feys has been a pioneering force in demonstrating the feasibility and efficacy of robot-assisted training combined with functional electrical stimulation (FES) and virtual reality environments for improving arm function in people with neurological conditions. His 2016 systematic review on upper limb rehabilitation in MS, cited over 120 times, remains a cornerstone reference in the field. Alongside this, his investigations into the I-TRAVLE robotic system and adaptive training protocols have provided proof-of-concept evidence for personalized neurorehabilitation. Feys has also contributed meaningfully to European consensus efforts on technology-based rehabilitation assessment, reflecting his broader influence on clinical methodology. His attention to practical challenges, including fatigue management during robot-mediated training, underscores a commitment to translating laboratory innovation into real-world patient care.
