About
Dr. Chien-Hsien Yeh is a leading researcher at the intersection of rehabilitation robotics and the Internet of Things (IoT), dedicated to restoring upper limb function in stroke survivors. Her work centers on developing innovative, home-based robotic therapies that bridge the gap between clinical rehabilitation and daily living. Dr. Yeh’s most impactful contributions include the creation of the Tenodesis-Induced-Grip Exoskeleton Robot (TIGER), a lightweight device designed to assist hemiplegic patients by leveraging natural tenodesis for grip. In a landmark randomized control study (16 citations), TIGER demonstrated significant improvements in upper extremity function. She further advanced the field by integrating IoT into rehabilitation, as shown in her highly cited 2022 randomized crossover study (19 citations), which proved that robot-assisted therapy can be effectively delivered as a home program for chronic stroke patients. By combining cutting-edge exoskeleton design with smart, connected technology, Dr. Yeh is making intensive, personalized therapy accessible beyond the clinic, directly improving quality of life for individuals with long-term motor impairments.
