About

Khor Kang Xiang is a researcher at the forefront of rehabilitation robotics, specializing in the development of intelligent, interactive systems for post-stroke motor recovery. His work directly addresses the critical limitations of conventional clinical assessments—namely, their subjectivity, lack of repeatability, and time-intensive nature. Khor’s major contributions include pioneering robotic assessment modules that provide objective, quantifiable metrics for upper limb function in stroke survivors, as demonstrated in his preliminary studies. He has also designed a novel reconfigurable rehabilitation robot specifically for forearm and wrist training, moving beyond complex, single-purpose devices to create adaptable, user-centric solutions. Further advancing the field, he developed the iRest platform, an interactive tool that seamlessly integrates rehabilitation with quantitative assessment. While his most-cited works (each garnering 8-9 citations) represent foundational steps, they highlight a clear, impactful trajectory toward creating personalized, data-driven therapies. Khor’s research is pivotal in transforming stroke rehabilitation from a subjective art into an objective, technology-empowered science, promising to enhance recovery outcomes and quality of life for patients worldwide.
