About

Lay Wai Khin is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation engineering, with a focus on developing accessible robotic therapies for stroke survivors. Her most cited work, a 2024 feasibility study, investigates telerehabilitation using a 2-D planar arm rehabilitation robot—the H-Man—for hemiparetic stroke patients. This pioneering study demonstrates the potential of clinic-to-home exergaming therapy, combining an end-effector robot with a web-based telemonitoring system to enable minimally supervised, home-based upper-limb rehabilitation. With 12 citations, this work addresses critical gaps in post-stroke care by reducing the need for constant clinical supervision while maintaining therapeutic efficacy. Khin’s contributions lie at the intersection of robotics, telehealth, and patient-centered design, advancing scalable solutions for motor recovery. Her research not only highlights the feasibility of remote robotic therapy but also underscores its safety and potential to improve patient outcomes, making rehabilitation more accessible. Through her innovative integration of technology and clinical practice, Khin is shaping the future of neurorehabilitation, offering hope for more independent recovery pathways for hemiparetic stroke patients.
