About
Senchao Fan is a leading researcher in rehabilitation robotics, with a focused expertise in developing robotic systems to restore motor function in stroke survivors. His work primarily targets the rehabilitation of the ankle and trunk, addressing critical deficits in balance and locomotion. Fan’s most impactful contribution is a landmark randomized controlled trial demonstrating that robot-aided stretching of the ankle joint significantly reduces plantarflexor stiffness and improves balance control in chronic stroke patients (18 citations). This study provides robust clinical evidence for the efficacy of targeted robotic intervention. He also pioneered a novel sitting balance training robot for trunk rehabilitation in acute and subacute stroke patients (6 citations), rigorously testing its stability and verifying its physiological effects on trunk muscle activation. By bridging engineering design with rigorous clinical validation, Fan’s research offers tangible, evidence-based solutions for post-stroke motor recovery, directly informing the development of next-generation rehabilitation technologies.
