About

Dr. Tetsuya Tsuji is a leading figure in neurorehabilitation and robotic-assisted therapy, with a particular focus on restoring motor function after stroke and neurological injury. His research bridges cutting-edge robotics and neuroscience, aiming to overcome the traditional limits of recovery. Dr. Tsuji’s major contributions include pioneering the development of HANDS therapy and brain-machine interface (BMI) neurorehabilitation for hemiparetic upper extremities, as well as optimizing exoskeletal shoulder assistance using muscular activity indices. He has also advanced surgical techniques, notably comparing robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) with conventional methods, demonstrating its safety and feasibility. His work on combined ankle robot training and robot-assisted gait training has shown promising results in improving gait patterns for patients with chronic traumatic brain injury. With highly cited papers—including his seminal 2012 work on HANDS therapy (22 citations) and recent studies on robotic rehabilitation—Dr. Tsuji’s impact is evident in both clinical practice and technological innovation. His research not only enhances functional outcomes but also deepens our understanding of neural plasticity, making him a pivotal contributor to the future of rehabilitation medicine.
