About
Suzy Yang is a neuroscientist and rehabilitation researcher whose work focuses on understanding and enhancing motor recovery after stroke. Her key research areas include stroke rehabilitation, brain connectivity, and the neural mechanisms underlying therapy-induced motor improvement. Yang’s major contributions center on identifying predictors of functional recovery and mapping the brain connectivity changes that accompany intensive motor practice. Her highly cited studies, such as “Predictors and brain connectivity changes associated with arm motor function improvement from intensive practice in chronic stroke” (12 citations) and its robotic-practice counterpart (11 citations), have demonstrated the feasibility of measuring motor system physiology in clinical trials. These works provide critical insights into how intensive upper-extremity training reshapes neural pathways, offering a foundation for more targeted rehabilitation strategies. Yang’s research bridges clinical practice and neuroscience, helping to personalize stroke therapy based on individual brain changes. Her findings are influential for clinicians and researchers developing evidence-based interventions to improve arm function in chronic stroke survivors.
