About
Kew Kok Wen is a researcher at the forefront of rehabilitation robotics, with a focused commitment to making assistive technology accessible and effective for home-based therapy. His key research area centers on the development of low-cost, portable robotic devices designed to restore fine motor skills in patients recovering from neurological injuries. His most notable contribution is the "Ambidexter," a novel 3-degree-of-freedom robotic rehabilitation system detailed in his 2018 paper. This device specifically targets the critical movements of hand opening/closing, forearm rotation, and wrist flexion/extension, addressing a significant gap in affordable, in-home therapy solutions. While his work has garnered 4 citations, its true impact lies in its potential to democratize rehabilitation, moving complex therapy from clinical settings into patients' homes. By prioritizing low cost and portability without sacrificing functional training, Kew Kok Wen is pioneering a path toward more frequent, consistent, and patient-centered recovery, making a tangible difference in the lives of individuals seeking to regain independence.
