About
Dr. Fang Liu is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation engineering, with a focus on robotic-assisted gait training for individuals with neurological impairments. Her work centers on restoring motor and walking function in patients with subacute stroke and spinal cord injury (SCI). In a landmark randomized controlled study (2021, 51 citations), Dr. Liu demonstrated that robot-assisted gait training significantly improves motor recovery and walking ability in subacute stroke patients, providing critical evidence for integrating robotics into standard rehabilitation protocols. She further advanced the field with a prospective, multi-center, cross-over clinical trial (2022, 32 citations) evaluating a novel exoskeleton—the Ai-robot—for locomotor rehabilitation in paraplegic subjects with T6–L2 SCI. This study rigorously assessed safety, walking efficiency, physiological cost, and user satisfaction, establishing the feasibility and practical benefits of exoskeleton use in clinical settings. Dr. Liu’s contributions are shaping evidence-based practices in robotic neurorehabilitation, bridging the gap between engineering innovation and patient-centered outcomes. Her work has garnered significant attention, influencing both rehabilitation protocols and the design of next-generation assistive devices.
