About
Beisi Zheng is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, specializing in the integration of advanced neuromodulation techniques with robotic therapy to restore motor function after stroke. Her work focuses on how non-invasive brain stimulation—such as intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS)—can be combined with robot-assisted training to enhance cortical plasticity and improve upper and lower limb recovery. In a landmark 2024 study, Zheng demonstrated that robot-assisted upper limb training paired with iTBS significantly alters cortical activation patterns in stroke survivors, as measured by functional near-infrared spectroscopy. She has also conducted rigorous network meta-analyses to identify optimal exercise prescriptions for robot-assisted gait training, providing evidence-based guidelines for clinical practice. With over 30 citations across her most-cited papers, Zheng’s work bridges mechanistic neuroscience and practical rehabilitation. Her 2025 investigation into tDCS combined with gait training further clarifies how these interventions modulate motor cortex excitability. Zheng’s contributions are shaping the future of personalized, technology-driven stroke rehabilitation, offering new hope for patients with motor impairments.
