About

Xuzhou Lang is pioneering the development of accessible, energy-efficient rehabilitation robotics, with a focus on transforming knee rehabilitation from a hospital-bound procedure into a home-based reality. His most-cited work, "Power-free knee rehabilitation robot for home-based isokinetic training" (2025, 14 citations), addresses a critical gap in physiotherapy by introducing a lightweight, low-energy robotic system that enables effective isokinetic training without the need for bulky, power-hungry hospital equipment. This innovation has the potential to dramatically expand patient access to consistent, high-quality rehabilitation, reducing recovery times and healthcare costs. Lang’s research sits at the intersection of biomechanics, robotics, and user-centered design, aiming to democratize physical therapy through intelligent, low-footprint devices. His work is particularly notable for its emphasis on "power-free" operation—a significant engineering challenge that he has tackled to make robotic rehabilitation more practical and sustainable for everyday use. As a rising voice in rehabilitation engineering, Lang’s contributions are already shaping the future of at-home medical robotics, offering a promising path toward more inclusive and autonomous patient care.
