About
Dr. Sarah R. Valkenborghs is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a primary focus on stroke recovery and motor function. Her work centers on developing and evaluating innovative interventions to improve upper limb motor recovery after stroke, a critical area given that hemiparesis remains a persistent and disabling problem for survivors. Her most cited paper, a 2019 systematic review with meta-analyses, rigorously examined the efficacy of combining novel therapies with task-specific training to enhance upper limb outcomes. This seminal work, cited 16 times, synthesized evidence to guide clinical practice and highlighted the potential of combined approaches where conventional rehabilitation has fallen short. Dr. Valkenborghs’ contributions are vital for advancing evidence-based strategies that directly impact patient well-being and quality of life, making her a key voice in post-stroke motor rehabilitation research.
