About
Hsiu-Yun Hsu is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation engineering, specializing in robot-assisted therapy for upper limb recovery after stroke. Her work centers on developing and clinically validating innovative robotic systems that leverage bilateral practice and tenodesis-induced grip mechanisms to restore motor function. Hsu’s landmark 2019 randomized controlled trial (26 citations) demonstrated that robotic-assisted therapy with bilateral practice significantly improves task and motor performance in chronic stroke patients, challenging conventional repetitive training approaches. She further advanced the field by creating the Tenodesis-Induced-Grip Exoskeleton Robot (TIGER), a lightweight assistive device shown in a 2021 study (16 citations) to enhance upper extremity function in hemiplegic patients. Her 2022 crossover study (19 citations) pioneered the integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technology, enabling effective robot-assisted home therapy programs. Most recently, her 2024 work (14 citations) refined TIGER with an assist-as-needed algorithm, optimizing patient engagement and recovery outcomes. With cumulative citations exceeding 75 across her most influential papers, Hsu’s contributions bridge cutting-edge robotics, sensor technology, and evidence-based rehabilitation, offering scalable solutions for stroke survivors. Her research is widely cited in occupational therapy and rehabilitation engineering literature, establishing her as a key figure in translating robotic innovations into practical, home-based neurorehabilitation.
