About

Yu-Chun Lee is a leading researcher in the field of neurorehabilitation, specializing in the application of soft robotic technologies for stroke recovery. Her major contributions center on evaluating the clinical effectiveness of wearable robotic devices, particularly soft robotic gloves and exosuits, in restoring motor function and ambulation in stroke patients. Through rigorous systematic reviews and meta-analyses, she has provided critical evidence that these lightweight, flexible devices can significantly improve hand motor recovery and walking ability, offering a practical alternative to traditional rigid exoskeletons. Her 2023 meta-analysis on soft robotic gloves, cited 22 times, and her systematic review on soft robotic exosuits, cited 10 times, are foundational works that bridge engineering and clinical practice. Lee’s research is notable for its focus on translating cutting-edge robotics into accessible, patient-friendly rehabilitation tools, directly addressing the limitations of bulky hardware. Her work has shaped guidelines for robot-assisted gait training and informed the design of next-generation wearable devices, making her a key figure in advancing evidence-based stroke rehabilitation.
