About

Dr. Pui Kit Tam is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation engineering, with a focus on developing and validating cutting-edge robotic and brain-computer interface (BCI) technologies for stroke recovery. His most influential work, the 2020 study on a Brain-Computer Interface-based Soft Robotic Glove (BCI-SRG), has garnered 153 citations, demonstrating its significant impact on the field. This randomized controlled feasibility study pioneered the integration of BCI with a soft robotic glove to deliver activities of daily living (ADL)-oriented rehabilitation tasks, offering a novel, patient-centered approach to restoring hand function in chronic stroke survivors. Dr. Tam is also at the forefront of translating robotic exoskeletons into real-world clinical practice. His recent work on the multicentre IMOVE implementation programme (2025) provides critical, pragmatic evidence on the effectiveness of overground robotic exoskeletons (ORE) for inpatient stroke rehabilitation, addressing the long-standing debate on their real-world utility. Through these contributions, Dr. Tam is bridging the gap between laboratory innovation and practical, evidence-based rehabilitation, shaping the future of motor recovery for stroke patients.
