About

San San Tay is a rehabilitation physician whose work sits at the intersection of neurorehabilitation, pulmonary recovery, and robotic-assisted therapy. Her research focuses on evaluating the clinical effectiveness of patient-guided suspension systems—particularly the Andago robot—in improving functional outcomes for patients recovering from stroke, COVID-19, and rare neuromuscular conditions. Her most cited study, a 2020 case report on post-critical care COVID-19 rehabilitation, was among the first to demonstrate how robotic therapy can address the profound deconditioning seen in survivors of severe illness. Tay’s 2021 retrospective cohort study (5 citations) provided early comparative evidence that a 7-days-a-week model of care with adjunct robotic therapy may outperform conventional rehabilitation in stroke recovery. She has also explored the role of frailty in COVID-19 rehabilitation outcomes (2023, 4 citations) and published case reports on challenging populations—including a patient with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita and restrictive lung disease, and a patient with Becker muscular dystrophy and concurrent stroke. Her work is notable for its focus on patients with complex comorbidities and sensory impairments, such as blindness, demonstrating the adaptability of robotic gait training. With a growing portfolio of case-based and cohort evidence, Tay is contributing to the evidence base for precision rehabilitation in resource-limited inpatient settings.
