About
Dr. Yi-Shiung Horng is a leading figure in stroke rehabilitation, whose research has pioneered the integration of robotic and behavioral therapies to restore upper-limb function. His work centers on designing and rigorously testing hybrid rehabilitation protocols that combine robot-assisted therapy (RT) with constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) and bilateral arm training. In his landmark 2014 randomized controlled trial (68 citations), Dr. Horng demonstrated that a sequential combination of RT and CIMT yields superior motor recovery in chronic stroke survivors compared to RT alone, establishing a new paradigm for personalized neurorehabilitation. He further advanced this field with his 2019 study comparing unilateral versus bilateral hybrid therapies, showing that both approaches significantly improve goal attainment and upper-limb function. Most recently, his 2024 work on the responsiveness of bilateral upper-limb outcome measures provides clinicians with validated tools to assess real-world functional gains. Dr. Horng’s contributions have shaped evidence-based practice in stroke recovery, offering patients more effective, integrated treatment pathways. His research continues to bridge the gap between cutting-edge robotics and patient-centered rehabilitation.
