About
Dr. Ting‐Ting Yeh is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation engineering, with a focus on developing quantitative tools to assess and treat motor impairments after neurological injury. Her most cited work introduces KAPS (Kinematic Assessment of Passive Stretch), a novel robotic exoskeleton-based method for objectively measuring elbow flexor and extensor spasticity post-stroke. This work addresses a critical gap in clinical practice, where traditional scales like the Modified Ashworth Scale often lack sensitivity and reproducibility. By providing precise kinematic data during passive stretch, Dr. Yeh’s approach enables more accurate characterization of elevated muscle tone, directly informing rehabilitation strategies. Her contributions have garnered over 30 citations, reflecting the growing demand for technology-driven, objective assessments in stroke rehabilitation. Through KAPS, Dr. Yeh has advanced the field by bridging engineering and clinical neuroscience, offering a reproducible, data-rich alternative to subjective spasticity evaluation. Her research continues to shape how clinicians and researchers understand and treat post-stroke motor impairments, making her a key figure in the movement toward personalized, quantitative neurorehabilitation.
