About
Dr. Yi‐Chun Kuan is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, whose work focuses on restoring motor function in patients with stroke and cerebral palsy. Her most significant contribution is the development and clinical validation of a novel hybrid robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) system. In a landmark single-blind randomized controlled trial (2022), Dr. Kuan demonstrated that this hybrid approach—which combines the benefits of end-effector and exoskeleton technologies—significantly improves motor function in subacute stroke survivors, offering a powerful new tool for high-intensity, repetitive rehabilitation. This pivotal study has garnered 35 citations, underscoring its impact on the field. Dr. Kuan’s research also extends to pediatric neurorehabilitation, where she has rigorously assessed the effects of neuromuscular electrical stimulation on upper limb function in children with cerebral palsy, providing crucial evidence for non-invasive therapeutic interventions. Her work bridges engineering and clinical practice, directly translating innovative technology into tangible patient outcomes. Dr. Kuan’s contributions are shaping the future of personalized, technology-driven rehabilitation for individuals with neurological impairments.
