Ingrid Skaaret is an Associate Professor at Oslo Metropolitan University, Faculty of Health Sciences, Department of Rehabilitation Science and Health Technology. She is affiliated with the Prosthetics and Orthotics Research groups and the Clinical interventions and assistive technology (CAT group). Her work focuses on rehabilitation science, particularly in the areas of prosthetics, orthotics, and assistive technology for individuals with mobility impairments. Dr. Skaaret's research primarily centers on gait analysis and orthotic interventions for children and adults with cerebral palsy. Her work investigates how ankle-foot orthoses affect walking patterns and functional outcomes following surgical interventions. She has conducted extensive research on the biomechanical aspects of movement in neuromuscular disorders, with particular emphasis on cerebral palsy. Her studies often employ 3D clinical gait analysis to measure outcomes and assess the efficacy of various orthotic and surgical interventions. Analysis of her publication record from 2012-2024 reveals a consistent research trajectory focused on cerebral palsy rehabilitation. Her work spans pediatric and adult populations, examining both immediate and long-term outcomes of orthotic and surgical interventions. Methodologically, she employs advanced biomechanical analysis techniques, clinical trials, and prospective study designs to evaluate functional outcomes. Her research has evolved from basic gait curve measurement methodologies to comprehensive investigations of surgical outcomes and orthotic efficacy across different age groups. Dr. Skaaret is actively involved with the Clinical interventions and assistive technology (CAT) research group at OsloMet, where she contributes to advancing knowledge in rehabilitation technology. Her work bridges clinical practice and academic research, ensuring that technological innovations in prosthetics and orthotics are evidence-based and effectively address patient needs. She has also contributed to national guideline development for cerebral palsy diagnosis and follow-up in Norway, demonstrating her impact on clinical practice standards.
