About
Man Lok Chan is a rehabilitation robotics researcher whose work focuses on the intersection of wearable technology and neurorehabilitation. His primary research areas include robotic exoskeletons, gait training, and post-stroke motor recovery. Chan’s most notable contribution is his pioneering randomized controlled trial on the effects of wearable ankle robotics for stair and over-ground training in sub-acute stroke patients. This study, published in 2020, demonstrated how robotic assistance can enhance functional mobility during critical recovery phases, offering a novel approach to retraining complex, everyday movements like stair climbing. Although his most-cited paper has garnered 2 citations to date, Chan’s work is significant for its rigorous clinical design and its focus on translating robotic innovations into practical rehabilitation protocols. His research addresses a key gap in stroke therapy—improving lower-limb function beyond simple walking—and has implications for designing more effective, task-specific interventions. Chan’s contributions are particularly relevant for students and researchers interested in the clinical application of wearable robotics, as his work bridges engineering and patient-centered outcomes in neurorehabilitation.
