During the last round of nominations, she has been appointed as Principal Investigator (PI). Her scientific research in pediatric rehabilitation medicine centers on improving interventions to promote activities and participation in children with a motor disability. A specific focus is on cerebral palsy and related childhood movement disorders. Cerebral palsy is the most common motor disability in childhood, and has a range of causes with the common denominator of stable early brain damage or -malformation, with life-long consequences. Much is still unknown about what the best treatment is for the individual child, and a lot is to be gained by a better understanding of the underlying causes and impairments.
