About
Kang Xiang Khor is a leading researcher in rehabilitation robotics, with a focus on developing affordable, portable, and reconfigurable robotic systems for stroke survivors. His work addresses a critical barrier in neurorehabilitation—the high cost and large size of existing robots—by pioneering compact, modular designs like the CR2-Haptic and the portable wrist robot, which have been shown to improve hand function in post-stroke subjects. Khor’s contributions extend beyond hardware; he has also advanced haptic interfaces and adaptive control algorithms to enhance patient engagement and training precision. His research on objective hand function assessment, using tools like iRest, challenges the limitations of traditional clinical scales by introducing repeatable, quantitative metrics. With over 140 citations across his most-cited works, Khor’s impact is evident in both engineering and clinical domains. Notably, he co-led the 2024 ICORR-SASNET Ghana Neurorehabilitation workshop, producing pragmatic recommendations to expand access to rehabilitation robots and assistive technologies across Africa, underscoring his commitment to global health equity. His work continues to shape the future of accessible, data-driven stroke rehabilitation.
