About
Xu-Yun Hua is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, specializing in the integration of robotics, virtual reality (VR), and neuromodulation to restore motor function after stroke and central nervous system (CNS) injuries. Her work focuses on developing and validating innovative therapies that combine robot-assisted training with neural circuit-based VR, as demonstrated in her highly cited protocol for robot-assisted virtual reality mirror therapy (RAVRMT) for upper limb dysfunction (21 citations). She has also pioneered lower extremity rehabilitation using combined robot motor assistance and VR, and has systematically reviewed peripheral nerve transfers for CNS injuries, highlighting novel surgical approaches for spinal cord injury and cerebral palsy. Her recent review on transcutaneous spinal direct current stimulation (tsDCS) provides mechanistic insights into non-invasive spinal neuromodulation for motor recovery. With multiple study protocols and systematic reviews shaping clinical trial design, Hua’s research bridges engineering and clinical neuroscience, offering evidence-based pathways to improve outcomes for patients with stroke and spinal cord injury. Her work is essential reading for clinicians and researchers advancing technology-driven rehabilitation.
