About
Dr. Jen-Wen Hung is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, specializing in motor recovery strategies for stroke survivors. Her work focuses on integrating advanced robotic technologies with evidence-based behavioral therapies to restore upper limb function. Dr. Hung’s most cited study (2016, 41 citations) pioneered the sequencing of bilateral robot-assisted arm therapy with modified constraint-induced therapy, demonstrating significant improvements in reach-to-press movements and trunk kinematics. This research provided critical insights into how combined interventions can reshape motor control strategies post-stroke, moving beyond simple functional gains to address underlying biomechanical deficits. Her contributions have helped bridge the gap between robotic rehabilitation and traditional neurorehabilitation, offering clinicians practical protocols for optimizing recovery. Dr. Hung’s work is widely referenced by rehabilitation engineers and physical therapists seeking to design more effective, patient-centered interventions. Through her rigorous kinematic analyses and innovative treatment sequencing, she continues to advance our understanding of how technology-assisted therapies can be strategically applied to maximize neural plasticity and functional independence in stroke patients.
