Specializations
Neurological Rehabilitation and Neurodegenerative Disorders
The investigator focuses on functional recovery and quality of life in patients with stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and Alzheimer’s disease, integrating multidisciplinary approaches to improve motor and cognitive outcomes.
- Post‑stroke motor re‑education
- Neuro‑rehabilitation in multiple sclerosis
- Cognitive support in Alzheimer’s disease
- Gait training for Parkinsonian syndromes
Collaboration with the Amsterdam UMC enables access to advanced neuroimaging and neurophysiology resources.
Musculoskeletal and Pain Management
Research addresses chronic musculoskeletal conditions, emphasizing therapeutic strategies for osteoarthritis, Achilles tendinopathy, and low back pain, with a strong emphasis on functional restoration.
- Exercise‑based therapy for osteoarthritis
- Regenerative approaches for tendinopathy
- Multimodal pain management in chronic low back pain
- Rehabilitation after acute musculoskeletal injuries
Interdisciplinary teams combine physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and pain medicine expertise.
Cardiovascular and Metabolic Rehabilitation
The investigator contributes to secondary prevention programs for patients with heart failure, coronary artery disease, and type 2 diabetes mellitus, focusing on exercise capacity, risk factor modification, and patient education.
- Exercise training in heart failure
- Cardiac rehabilitation after myocardial infarction
- Lifestyle interventions for metabolic syndrome
- Physical activity counseling for diabetes management
Program outcomes are monitored through functional testing and biomarkers.
Oncology Supportive Care and Cancer Rehabilitation
Specialized rehabilitation protocols are developed for survivors of breast cancer, lung cancer, and colorectal cancer, targeting deconditioning, lymphedema, and treatment‑related fatigue.
- Exercise interventions for breast cancer survivors
- Pulmonary rehabilitation after lung resection
- Fatigue management in colorectal cancer patients
- Lymphedema therapy post‑oncologic surgery
Integration with oncology services ensures seamless transition from acute treatment to survivorship care.
Rare Diseases and Genetic Disorders
Active involvement includes rehabilitation strategies for individuals with hereditary angioedema, autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, and fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva, addressing unique functional challenges.
- Mobility support in hereditary angioedema
- Physical therapy for polycystic kidney disease patients
- Adaptive equipment for fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva
- Quality‑of‑life assessments in rare disease cohorts
These efforts are coordinated through the Amsterdam UMC’s rare disease network.
