About

Wanyi Qing is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation engineering, specializing in somatosensory integration and robot-assisted motor recovery after stroke. Her work addresses the critical disruption of somatosensorimotor integration (SMI) that impedes precise motor restoration, pioneering robotic approaches that reconstruct SMI by embedding somatosensory input into motor relearning. Qing’s major contributions include the development of the mobile exoneuromusculoskeleton (ENMS)—a hybrid neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) and robotic system—and its translation from laboratory to clinical telerehabilitation services. Her 2023 study demonstrated the feasibility of ENMS-assisted wrist–hand telerehabilitation in clinical settings, while her 2024 follow-up provided rare evidence of long-term benefits, overcoming challenges in patient administration and follow-up. With key papers accumulating 5 and 4 citations respectively, Qing’s impact is growing rapidly, particularly for her innovative integration of mobile robotics with self-help telerehabilitation. Her work is notable for bridging the gap between lab-based prototypes and real-world clinical adoption, offering scalable solutions for post-stroke motor recovery. Qing’s research is essential reading for students and clinicians interested in wearable robotics, neuroplasticity, and accessible rehabilitation technologies.
