About

Huimin Su is an emerging researcher specializing in soft wearable robotics and rehabilitation engineering, with a focus on developing innovative assistive technologies for individuals with neurological and musculoskeletal impairments. Su's work addresses a critical global challenge: over 50 million people worldwide live with persistent upper limb impairments, and a significant proportion remain functionally limited despite intensive clinical intervention. Su's most influential contribution, a soft skin-brace for forearm pronation and supination (2022, 17 citations), demonstrated how low-profile wearable designs can meaningfully restore upper limb function for daily living activities. Building on this foundation, Su extended research into lower limb rehabilitation, developing the LM-Ease exosuit (2024, 9 citations) to improve sitting, standing, and walking efficiency in aging or injured populations. More recent work integrates forearm rotation capabilities into glove exosuits to augment grasping and therapeutic outcomes, alongside sensor-embedded systems for precise motion tracking. Across these contributions, Su consistently bridges biomechanical insight with practical wearable design, producing clinically relevant tools that support patient independence. With a growing citation record and publications spanning 2022 to 2025, Su represents a promising voice in the rapidly evolving field of soft rehabilitation robotics.
