About
Ching-Yi Wu is a leading figure in stroke rehabilitation research, whose work has fundamentally advanced our understanding of how technology can restore upper-limb function. Her primary research areas center on robot-assisted therapy (RT), dose-response relationships in motor recovery, and the comparative efficacy of unilateral versus bilateral training paradigms. Wu’s landmark 2011 randomized controlled trial, cited 174 times, provided compelling evidence that robot-assisted rehabilitation improves daily function and real-world arm activity in chronic stroke survivors, setting a new standard for the field. She has systematically explored treatment intensity, demonstrating that higher-dose RT yields superior motor outcomes (108 citations), and has pioneered the study of neuroplastic changes via resting-state fMRI connectivity after rehabilitation (82 citations). Her work also critically compares therapist-based and robot-assisted bilateral arm training, and investigates synergistic combinations of RT with constraint-induced therapy and neuromuscular electrical stimulation. With over a decade of rigorous clinical trials, Wu has shaped evidence-based protocols that bridge engineering and clinical practice, making her an indispensable voice in neurorehabilitation and a key resource for researchers and clinicians seeking to optimize recovery after stroke.
