Motor rehabilitation

Motor rehabilitation is an important part of the rehabilitation process, which contributes substantially to the improvement of the independence of patients in daily life. Clinically, motor rehabilitation aims to foster functional recovery and participation. The main focus of the research on motor rehabilitation is to optimize the rehabilitation of the patients groups treated in the Rehabilitation Center of the Sint Maartenskliniek such as patients with a stroke, amputation, spinal cord injury, and children with cerebral palsy. To contribute to the improvement of the rehabilitation process, research studies are performed to evaluate and improve existing interventions on motor problems. Moreover, new interventions are developed and evaluated in randomized controlled trials to investigate their effectiveness. For the evaluation of interventions, new measurement equipment, protocols, questionnaires, and clinical tests are developed, improved and evaluated. In addition, guidelines are developed based on systematic reviews. More fundamental studies are performed only if it is expected that their results can contribute to clinical practice.
