About
Hongchen He is a leading researcher in rehabilitation robotics, with a primary focus on developing and validating robotic exoskeletons for individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) and stroke. His major contributions lie in demonstrating the clinical safety and therapeutic benefits of lower limb exoskeletons, notably through a 2020 observational study (52 citations) that established the feasibility of a new robotic exoskeleton for SCI patients with complete motor lesions. He further advanced the field with a randomized controlled pilot study (40 citations) showing that exoskeleton-assisted walking significantly improves pulmonary function and walking parameters in SCI individuals—a critical finding for enhancing respiratory health. He has also pioneered human-robot interaction techniques, such as assistance-level quantification to reshape interaction spaces for more effective rehabilitation training. Additionally, he co-authored an expert consensus on the clinical application of lower limb rehabilitation robots, helping to standardize their use in China. With a growing citation impact and a focus on translating robotic technology into tangible patient outcomes, He’s work is pivotal for advancing neurorehabilitation and improving quality of life for those with motor impairments.
