About
Regina Y. Lin is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation and robotic therapy, with a focus on restoring motor function after neurological injury. Her work centers on the intersection of rehabilitation engineering and clinical neuroscience, particularly in developing targeted robotic interventions for gait impairment. In her highly cited 2017 study, “Intensive seated robotic training of the ankle in patients with chronic stroke differentially improves gait,” Lin demonstrated that focused, repetitive robotic training of a single joint—the ankle—can yield measurable improvements in walking ability, even in chronic stroke patients. This finding challenged prevailing assumptions that lower limb recovery requires whole-leg or treadmill-based approaches, highlighting the potential of isolated joint training to drive functional gains. With 19 citations, this work has influenced subsequent research on task-specific, robot-assisted rehabilitation protocols. Lin’s contributions are notable for bridging engineering precision with clinical application, offering new pathways for personalized neurorehabilitation. Her research continues to inform the design of more effective, accessible robotic therapies for individuals living with chronic motor deficits.
