About

Xiaohong Xu is a dedicated researcher in the field of rehabilitation medicine, with a primary focus on poststroke recovery and traditional Chinese therapeutic interventions. Her work centers on evaluating the efficacy and safety of tuina—a form of Chinese therapeutic massage—for managing spasticity, a debilitating complication following stroke. Xu’s most-cited paper, a protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis published in 2020, outlines a rigorous methodological framework to synthesize evidence on tuina’s effects on poststroke spasticity, addressing a critical gap in supportive clinical data. This contribution has garnered 7 citations, reflecting its relevance among clinicians and researchers seeking non-pharmacological rehabilitation strategies. By systematically assessing existing studies, Xu aims to provide clearer guidance on tuina’s role in improving motor function and quality of life for stroke survivors. Her work underscores a commitment to bridging traditional practices with evidence-based medicine, offering potential pathways for integrative stroke care. Xu’s research continues to inform rehabilitation protocols, highlighting the importance of robust evidence in validating complementary therapies for neurological recovery.
