About
Dr. Honn Wee Son is a leading researcher in rehabilitation robotics and virtual reality (VR)-assisted prosthetics, whose work bridges the gap between pre-prosthetic training and real-world functional outcomes. His most cited paper, "Virtual Reality Pre-Prosthetic Hand Training With Physics Simulation and Robotic Force Interaction" (2022, 27 citations), introduces a novel VR system that combines physics-based simulation with robotic force feedback to prepare amputees for prosthetic hand use before they receive their device. This approach addresses a critical bottleneck in rehabilitation: traditional pre-prosthetic training often lacks the sensory and motor realism needed to ease the transition to a physical prosthesis. By integrating haptic interactions and dynamic physics, Dr. Son’s system allows patients to practice grasping, manipulation, and force control in a safe, immersive environment, significantly improving their readiness and reducing adaptation time. His work has been recognized for its potential to lower prosthesis abandonment rates and enhance user satisfaction. With a growing citation impact, Dr. Son continues to advance VR-based rehabilitation, making him a key figure in the future of human-machine interaction and assistive technology.
