معرفی
Sanne Ettema is a Rehabilitation Medicine researcher at the University Medical Center Groningen, University of Groningen, specializing in neurorehabilitation and gait biomechanics. Her work focuses on optimizing body weight supported treadmill training for stroke and spinal cord injury recovery using the RYSEN robotic system.
Her research interests span stroke rehabilitation, gait analysis, and biomechanical interventions. Key areas include:
- Body weight support protocol development
- Walking speed-stability relationships
- Robotic force modulation effects
- Energy cost optimization in mobility recovery
- Systematic evidence synthesis for clinical practice
Recent publications demonstrate strong focus on translating biomechanical research into clinical rehabilitation frameworks, particularly through:
- Observational studies of RYSEN training outcomes
- Systematic reviews establishing evidence-based protocols
- Investigations of force modulation effects on neuromuscular control
Collaborative work with clinical researchers like Houdijk and van Bennekom shows integration of engineering approaches with medical rehabilitation practice. Current projects emphasize practical implementation of robotic gait training while addressing fundamental biomechanical questions in post-stroke recovery.
