About
Dr. Jen-Wen Hung is a leading clinical researcher in post-stroke neurorehabilitation, specializing in the integration of advanced technology with pharmacological interventions to restore upper-limb function. Her work focuses on optimizing spasticity management and motor recovery through the synergistic combination of Botulinum toxin A (BoNT-A) injections with robot-assisted therapy, mirror therapy, and task-oriented training. Dr. Hung’s landmark pilot randomized controlled trial (2022, 16 citations) provided critical evidence on how different task-oriented trainings can enhance the effects of BoNT-A, while her subsequent work (2021, 10 citations) was the first to define the optimal schedule for robot-assisted training following injection, a key practical contribution to clinical protocols. She has also advanced the understanding of neuromuscular mechanisms, using myoelectric analysis to examine upper-extremity muscle activity during robot-assisted bilateral movements and exploring bilateral sensorimotor cortical communication during multi-modal hand training. By systematically investigating both the efficacy and the underlying neural mechanisms of combined therapies, Dr. Hung’s research is directly shaping evidence-based rehabilitation strategies for chronic stroke survivors, bridging the gap between cutting-edge technology and practical clinical application.
