Helle Marie Hüche Larsen

Helle Marie Hüche Larsen is a Postdoctoral Researcher (Research Fellow) in the Motor Control group at the Department of Neuroscience, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen. Based at Blegdamsvej 3, 2200 Copenhagen N, she maintains an active ORCID profile (0000-0002-9962-6892) and focuses on neurophysiological mechanisms of motor control.

Her research centers on cerebral palsy across the lifespan, investigating how spinal motor neuron excitability and central drive modulate gait during visually guided tasks. She pioneers motor-learning interventions to improve functional mobility in severe cerebral palsy cases, bridging neurophysiology with clinical rehabilitation through collaborations with J.B. Nielsen and M. Willerslev-Olsen.

Analysis of her 2019-2024 publications reveals consistent themes: impaired motor program maturation in children, task-difficulty effects on neural drive during gait, and efficacy of motor-learning activities for adult rehabilitation. Her work leverages neurophysiological techniques to translate basic science into rehabilitation strategies, primarily publishing in high-impact journals like Brain and Journal of Neurophysiology.

Dr. Larsen operates within the Motor Control research group at the University of Copenhagen, contributing to interdisciplinary studies on human movement disorders and rehabilitation technologies.
