About
Cong Chang is a leading researcher in the field of rehabilitation robotics, with a primary focus on the clinical application of lower limb exoskeletons for individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). Her work bridges the gap between advanced robotic technology and tangible improvements in patient quality of life. In a landmark 2023 randomized controlled trial, Dr. Chang demonstrated that exoskeleton-assisted walking significantly enhances daily living activities and overall well-being in patients with complete SCI, a study that has already garnered 12 citations for its rigorous methodology. More recently, her pioneering 2024 pilot study explored the novel connection between exoskeleton use and improved bowel function, revealing the involvement of the brain–gut axis and shifts in intestinal flora. This work, with 5 citations, opens a new frontier in understanding the systemic benefits of robotic rehabilitation. Dr. Chang’s research is notable for its patient-centered outcomes and mechanistic insights, positioning her as a key figure in translating neurorehabilitation technology into meaningful clinical practice.
