About
I-Ching Chuang is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, specializing in post-stroke motor recovery and spasticity management. Her work bridges cutting-edge rehabilitation technologies with patient-centered outcomes, particularly through the integration of botulinum toxin A (BoNT-A) with task-oriented therapies. In her landmark 2022 pilot randomized controlled trial (16 citations), Chuang systematically compared robot-assisted therapy, mirror therapy, and active control treatments combined with BoNT-A injections, providing critical evidence that combined approaches can enhance motor function and reduce spasticity more effectively than BoNT-A alone. This study has become a foundational reference for clinicians designing multimodal rehabilitation protocols. Chuang also advanced understanding of psychological factors in recovery; her 2021 secondary analysis (5 citations) demonstrated that self-efficacy mediates the relationship between motor ability and functional performance after task-related training, highlighting the importance of psychosocial support in stroke rehabilitation. By quantifying how confidence in one's abilities translates into real-world gains, Chuang's work empowers therapists to address both physical and motivational barriers. Her research continues to shape evidence-based practices that optimize recovery trajectories for stroke survivors.
