About

Brandon Bao Sheng Yeo is a biomedical engineer whose research centers on assistive robotics and gait rehabilitation, with a focus on developing innovative technologies to restore mobility in individuals with neurological or age-related impairments. His most cited work, "Resistance training using a novel robotic walker for over-ground gait rehabilitation: a preliminary study on healthy subjects" (2017, 16 citations), introduces a groundbreaking robotic walker that applies controlled resistance during over-ground walking—a departure from traditional treadmill-based systems. This preliminary study demonstrated the device’s safety and feasibility, laying the groundwork for future clinical applications in stroke and spinal cord injury rehabilitation. Yeo’s contributions are notable for bridging the gap between laboratory-based robotic training and real-world, over-ground mobility, addressing a critical limitation in existing rehabilitation paradigms. While his citation count reflects the early-stage nature of this research, the work has been recognized for its potential to transform gait therapy by enabling more natural, task-specific training. Yeo’s approach combines mechanical design innovation with user-centered testing, positioning him as an emerging voice in the field of rehabilitation robotics. His ongoing efforts aim to validate these systems in patient populations, promising to enhance functional outcomes and quality of life for those with walking disabilities.
