About
Dr. Hewei Wang is a pioneering researcher in neurorehabilitation engineering, with a focus on developing and validating brain–computer interface (BCI)-driven robotic systems for post-stroke recovery. His work bridges the gap between neural decoding and physical therapy, targeting both upper and lower limb rehabilitation. In his most cited study (2025, 8 citations), Dr. Wang conducted a randomized controlled fNIRS trial demonstrating that a BCI-controlled soft robotic glove significantly improves upper limb function in subacute stroke patients, while also uncovering the underlying cortical reorganization mechanisms. This work provides critical evidence for the clinical efficacy of closed-loop neurorehabilitation. Additionally, his 2024 case study (2 citations) introduced a novel wearable self-balancing exoskeleton robot capable of complete self-support, enabling early weight-bearing and trunk control training in a 57-year-old stroke survivor. This innovation addresses a key challenge in lower limb recovery by allowing patients to train safely without therapist assistance. Dr. Wang’s contributions are shaping the future of personalized, technology-driven stroke rehabilitation, with his research laying the groundwork for more autonomous and neuroadaptive therapeutic devices.
