Simone Lise Dorsch

Simone Lise Dorsch is an Associate Professor in the School of Allied Health, Faculty of Health Sciences. Her research focuses on neurological rehabilitation, particularly post-stroke recovery through physiotherapy interventions. She has led studies on motor recovery strategies, telehealth applications, and the efficacy of strengthening programs for stroke survivors.

Key research areas include the comparative effectiveness of therapies like Bobath versus task-specific training, the role of muscle strength in mobility outcomes, and the integration of technology in rehabilitation (e.g., functional electrical stimulation, iPad-based therapy). She has contributed to randomized controlled trials evaluating interventions like the Activity and MObility UsiNg Technology (AMOUNT) trial, exploring digital health solutions for mobility and activity enhancement.

Her work emphasizes evidence-based practices, with a focus on systematic reviews to inform clinical guidelines. Notable publications address both upper and lower limb rehabilitation, gait analysis, and the feasibility of innovative therapies in clinical settings. She has collaborated on trials investigating goal-oriented instructions and group exercise programs to optimize rehabilitation intensity and patient outcomes.
