About

Ruyan Song is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation engineering, with a focused expertise in robot-assisted therapy for stroke recovery. Her work centers on understanding how unilateral versus bilateral upper limb robotic training can restore motor function and neural plasticity in hemiplegic patients. In a landmark 2023 study, Song demonstrated that bilateral upper limb robot-assisted rehabilitation significantly improves motor function in stroke survivors, using quantitative EEG to reveal underlying cortical reorganization—a contribution that has already garnered 32 citations. She further advanced the field with a single-blinded three-arm randomized controlled trial (2023, 15 citations) comparing uni- and bilateral robotic training against conventional therapy, showing superior outcomes in motor function, daily living activities, and electromyographic activity. By integrating robotic systems with neurophysiological biomarkers, Song’s work bridges engineering and clinical neuroscience, offering evidence-based protocols for personalized stroke rehabilitation. Her research is shaping next-generation therapies that leverage bilateral coordination to enhance neuroplasticity, making her a key figure in the movement toward data-driven, robot-aided recovery.
