Neurorehabilitation Research Group

Institute for Neurorehabilitation and Evidence-based Practice (BDH), "An-Institut" University of Greifswald

The neurorehabilitation research group engages in diverse research methods and activities that

  • seek to promote functional recovery (e.g. impairment-oriented training with the arm basis training, arm ability training; neglect therapy)
  • develop technology applications to improve both the specificity and intensity of neurorehabilitation interventions (e.g. non-invasive brain stimulation and humanoid robot as therapy assistant),
  • run clinical trials to assess clinical benefits of interventions developed by the group and collaborators (e.g. E-BRAiN),
  • design and implement healthcare research and trials promoting and assessing new ways of healthcare for neurorehabilitation (e.g. OptiNIV),
  • provide evidence syntheses (e.g. Cochrane Review),
  • use evidence synthesis and evidence-to-decision methodology to bridge the gap between neurorehabilitation research and practice (evidence-to-decision projects),
  • develop and provide clinical practice guidelines and clinical pathways both with a national and an international background (e.g. for stroke rehabilitation).
