About
Hao Cheng is a leading researcher in rehabilitation robotics, with a primary focus on robot-assisted therapy for motor recovery after stroke. His work bridges engineering and clinical neuroscience to develop assistive technologies that restore upper and lower limb function. Cheng’s most impactful contribution is his 2021 systematic review and meta-analysis on robot-assisted therapy for upper extremity motor impairment post-stroke, which has garnered 98 citations and provides critical evidence for the efficacy of robotic interventions in neurorehabilitation. He has also pioneered investigations into the timing of dorsiflexion assistance during gait rehabilitation, demonstrating in feasibility studies with healthy participants how modulating assistive timing can influence voluntary effort and reduce compensatory movements. His 2020 study on high-dorsiflexion assistive robotic technology, utilizing McKibben-type artificial muscles to support ankle movement in stroke patients, further underscores his commitment to developing patient-centered, adaptive robotic systems. Although early in his career, Cheng’s work is shaping the future of personalized, robot-assisted rehabilitation, offering promising pathways for enhancing motor recovery and quality of life for individuals with neurological impairments.
