About
Shih-Chiao Tseng’s research lies at the intersection of neurorehabilitation and assistive technology, with a primary focus on improving mobility and quality of life for individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS). Her work investigates how wearable robotic exoskeletons can mitigate the gait impairments—such as weakened muscle control, poor coordination, and high metabolic fatigue—that characterize MS. In her 2017 study, she demonstrated that exoskeleton-assisted walking reduces cognitive demands, suggesting that these devices not only facilitate movement but also free up neural resources for better motor control. Her 2016 feasibility study further established the practical viability of exoskeleton-based rehabilitation, highlighting patient experiences and acceptance. Though her citation counts are modest (9 and 3, respectively), her contributions are foundational in a niche but growing field, offering early evidence that robotic exoskeletons can serve as effective tools for restoring coordinated muscle activity and reducing fatigue in MS. Tseng’s work is particularly notable for bridging engineering, neuroscience, and clinical rehabilitation, providing a roadmap for future studies on adaptive assistive technologies.
