About
Chen Yen-Wei is a leading researcher in post-stroke neurorehabilitation, specializing in the integration of robotic-assisted therapy, mirror therapy, and task-oriented training to restore upper limb motor function and daily living activities. Their major contributions include pioneering work on the comparative efficacy of EMG-driven robot-assisted therapy versus conventional task-oriented training, demonstrating significant improvements in motor control and daily function for stroke survivors. With over 100 cumulative citations, their 2022 randomized cross-over trial (36 citations) and 2023 study on combining mirror therapy with robotic training (31 citations) have shaped evidence-based protocols for optimizing rehabilitation schedules. Notably, Yen-Wei also advanced surgical robotics by reporting early clinical outcomes of robot-assisted microvascular anastomosis in head and neck free flap reconstruction (34 citations), bridging engineering and clinical practice. Their research further explores the synergistic effects of botulinum toxin injections with distributed versus condensed robotic training schedules, offering practical guidelines for spasticity management. Yen-Wei’s work is essential reading for clinicians and engineers seeking to translate robotic technologies into effective, patient-centered rehabilitation strategies.
