About
Bibo Yang is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation engineering, specializing in the development of hybrid robotic and neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) systems for post-stroke upper limb recovery. Her work addresses a critical challenge in stroke rehabilitation: restoring coordinated multi-joint movement while enabling long-term, accessible therapy. Yang’s most influential contribution is the design of an NMES-robot hybrid system for multi-joint coordinated rehabilitation (68 citations), which integrates electrical stimulation with robotic assistance to reduce muscular discoordination. She has further advanced the field by pioneering data-driven approaches using surface electromyography (sEMG) for objective clinical assessment (28 citations), moving beyond traditional manual evaluations. Notably, Yang has been at the forefront of translating telerehabilitation technologies into clinical practice. Her recent studies on mobile exoneuromusculoskeleton (ENMS)-assisted self-help telerehabilitation (5 and 4 citations) demonstrate the feasibility and long-term effectiveness of home-based robotic therapy, a critical innovation highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic. Her perspective on personalized robots for long-term telerehabilitation (7 citations) underscores her vision for scalable, patient-centered care. With a growing body of work bridging laboratory innovation and clinical translation, Yang is shaping the future of accessible, technology-driven stroke recovery.
