About

Mengjie Li is a researcher in rehabilitation robotics, with a focus on developing robotic systems for hemiplegic patients. Her work centers on creating multi-degree-of-freedom robots for ankle, hand, wrist, and arm rehabilitation, addressing the limitations of single-joint or passive-only training devices. Li’s major contributions include the design of a three-freedom ankle rehabilitation robot that enables active patient participation, moving beyond traditional passive training methods. She also developed a combined hand and wrist rehabilitation robot that integrates functional training, rather than focusing solely on finger flexibility. Her most cited paper, "Development of a three freedoms ankle rehabilitation robot for ankle training" (2015, 17 citations), highlights her impact in advancing robotic rehabilitation. Additionally, Li has explored the use of robots for medical education, such as simulating lead-pipe rigidity for neurological examination training. Her work is notable for its practical approach to improving rehabilitation outcomes and training medical professionals, with cumulative citations reflecting her contributions to the field.
