About

Xue Zhang is a prominent researcher specializing in stroke rehabilitation robotics, with a particular focus on restoring motor function in post-stroke patients through advanced robotic technologies. Zhang's work spans the full spectrum of rehabilitation engineering, addressing upper-limb recovery, lower-limb mobility, and targeted gait restoration through wearable devices. Among Zhang's most influential contributions is a comprehensive review of hand rehabilitation robotics (2017, 192 citations), which critically examined the state of robot-assisted therapy for one of stroke recovery's most complex challenges — restoring hand function. Complementing this, Zhang's parallel investigation into lower-limb rehabilitation robots (2017, 149 citations) provided an essential framework for understanding how robotic interventions can reduce motor dysfunction and prevent permanent disability in an aging population. More recently, Zhang extended this expertise to a systematic review of wearable ankle robots for post-stroke gait rehabilitation (2019, 88 citations), addressing the critical need for practical, patient-centered mobility solutions. With a combined citation count exceeding 400 across these three works alone, Zhang has established a meaningful presence at the intersection of biomedical engineering and neurorehabilitation, offering researchers, clinicians, and engineers a rigorous foundation for developing next-generation rehabilitation technologies.
