About
Minghui Gu is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation engineering, with a focus on developing and evaluating robotic and neurotechnological interventions for post-stroke motor recovery. Her work centers on robot-assisted arm training (RAT), action observation therapy, and next-generation neuroprosthetics, aiming to restore natural human movement after neurological injury. Gu’s most cited paper, a 2020 systematic review and meta-analysis on RAT versus therapist-mediated training after stroke (41 citations), provides critical evidence on the efficacy of robotic therapy for upper limb impairment, a condition affecting over two-thirds of stroke patients. She has also pioneered studies on RAT for stroke survivors with unilateral spatial neglect (13 citations), a challenging comorbidity often overlooked in rehabilitation trials. Her protocol for an action observation treatment-based exoskeleton (AOT-EXO) trial (12 citations) integrates cognitive and motor training, while her forward-looking 2025 work on motor primitive models for neurotechnologies (3 citations) explores brain-inspired interfaces for restoring natural movement. Gu’s research bridges rigorous clinical evidence with cutting-edge engineering, advancing personalized, technology-driven rehabilitation strategies that have the potential to significantly improve quality of life for stroke survivors worldwide.
