معرفی
Dr. Henri Hurkmans is an active Researcher at Erasmus University Medical Center in Rotterdam, Netherlands, affiliated with the Erasmus School of Medicine and the Department of Orthopedics and Sports Medicine. His research program focuses on developing and validating technological interventions for rehabilitation, particularly in stroke recovery and orthopedic rehabilitation settings.
Dr. Hurkmans' research interests center around the application of sensor technology and feedback systems to improve rehabilitation outcomes. His work spans multiple domains including stroke rehabilitation where he has pioneered mirror therapy protocols, orthopedic rehabilitation with focus on weight-bearing techniques, and sensor-based monitoring of patient movements in hospital settings. His research demonstrates how technological innovations can provide objective measurements and real-time feedback to enhance patient recovery.
Analysis of his publication history reveals a clear progression from foundational work on mirror therapy and visual illusions for stroke patients (2012-2015) toward more recent applications of wearable sensor technology for monitoring hospitalized patients (2023-2024). His research consistently bridges clinical rehabilitation practice with technological innovation, with particular emphasis on validating measurement tools and developing practical clinical applications.
Dr. Hurkmans has established productive collaborations with key researchers including Bussmann, Verhaar, Selles, and Ribbers across multiple publications. His work has demonstrated significant impact, with his 2015 mirror therapy article accumulating 59 Scopus citations and his 2014 visual illusion study receiving 47 citations, indicating substantial influence in the neurorehabilitation field.
