Rannei Sæther

Rannei Sæther serves as Associate Professor at NTNU's Regional Centre for Child and Youth Mental Health and Child Welfare. Her research specializes in cerebral palsy, with emphasis on postural control, early intervention efficacy, and objective measurement of motor functions.

She investigates therapeutic interventions like Botulinum toxin and ankle-foot orthoses using biomechanical and phenomenological approaches. Key themes:

• Patient/parent experiences in rehabilitation
• Gait efficiency and trunk control metrics
• Development of digital learning tools for habilitering

Her publications (2013-2025) show progression from validation of assessment tools (e.g., Trunk Impairment Scale) toward mixed-methods studies examining congruence between clinical outcomes and lived experiences. Recent work prioritizes family-centered care models in early intervention.
