About
Shu-Wei Pu is a leading researcher in the field of rehabilitation robotics, with a primary focus on developing innovative cable-driven exoskeletal systems for post-stroke hand therapy. His work addresses the critical challenge of creating clinically viable robotic devices that can restore motor function in impaired hands. Pu’s major contributions include pioneering designs that decouple finger joint motion, enabling coordinated and natural movement across the distal, proximal, and metacarpophalangeal joints. He has also integrated anthropometric principles into exoskeleton structures, ensuring a personalized fit for patients. Notably, Pu has advanced mirror therapy rehabilitation by developing robotic hand systems that synchronize with a patient’s healthy hand to guide the impaired one, enhancing neuroplasticity. His most cited work, a usability assessment of a cable-driven exoskeletal robot (39 citations), demonstrates the practical application of his designs in clinical settings. Additionally, his research on tension force measurement systems has refined the control and safety of these devices. With over 115 total citations, Pu’s contributions are shaping the future of robot-assisted rehabilitation, offering new hope for stroke survivors seeking to regain hand function.
