About
Dr. Chao-Jung Hsu is a rehabilitation scientist whose work bridges biomechanics and neurorehabilitation, with a primary focus on improving motor recovery in individuals post-stroke. Her research centers on understanding how external forces and task-specific training can reshape gait patterns and neural activation in paretic limbs. In her most cited work, "Applying a pelvic corrective force induces forced use of the paretic leg and improves paretic leg EMG activities of individuals post-stroke during treadmill walking" (2017, 36 citations), Dr. Hsu demonstrated that a simple pelvic perturbation can significantly enhance muscle activation in the affected leg during walking—a finding with direct implications for designing more effective, low-cost rehabilitation interventions. This study highlights her innovative approach to leveraging mechanical cues to drive neuroplasticity. Beyond this paper, her broader contributions include exploring how robotic and manual assistance can optimize gait retraining, making her work highly relevant for clinicians and engineers developing assistive technologies. With a growing citation impact, Dr. Hsu is establishing herself as a key voice in translating biomechanical principles into practical, evidence-based strategies for restoring mobility after neurological injury.
