About

Qiaoling Meng is a prominent researcher specializing in rehabilitation robotics and assistive technologies, with a particular focus on developing innovative solutions for stroke recovery and motor function restoration. Her work sits at the intersection of biomedical engineering, human-machine interaction, and clinical rehabilitation, addressing real-world challenges faced by patients with conditions such as hemiplegia. Meng's most influential contribution is her comprehensive survey on surface electromyographic (sEMG) control strategies for wearable hand exoskeletons, which has garnered 25 citations and established her as a key voice in non-invasive neural-control interfaces for rehabilitation devices. This work highlights the practical advantages of sEMG signals — including safety and ease of collection — making them especially suitable for hemiplegic patients. Her subsequent research demonstrates a consistent drive toward clinical applicability, including the design of a supine ankle rehabilitation robot tailored for early bedridden stroke patients (9 citations) and a bionic hand-elbow exoskeleton capable of reproducing natural grasping movements for daily living activities (6 citations). Across her portfolio, Meng demonstrates a clear commitment to patient-centered engineering — designing systems that are portable, accessible, and aligned with the physiological realities of rehabilitation, making her work highly relevant to both clinicians and biomedical engineers.
