About
Yu-Cheng Pei is a prominent researcher whose work sits at the intersection of rehabilitation medicine, biomedical engineering, and human-robot interaction. Best known for advancing robot-assisted neurorehabilitation, Pei has made substantial contributions to the design, evaluation, and clinical application of exoskeletal robotic devices for stroke recovery, particularly targeting upper limb and hand function. Pei's most influential work centers on cable-driven hand exoskeletons and bimanual rehabilitation systems. His 2019 studies on usability assessment and decoupled finger joint motion in exoskeletal hands (each accumulating approximately 36–39 citations) established important frameworks for translating engineering innovation into clinically viable rehabilitation tools. His 2017 evaluation of a bilateral arm rehabilitation device (36 citations) further demonstrated his commitment to integrating neurological pathophysiology with real-world clinical needs. Beyond hardware development, Pei has pursued rigorous clinical validation, conducting randomized controlled trials—such as his 2022 pilot study on robot-assisted bimanual hand training in subacute stroke—and exploring synergistic combinations of robotic training with antispasticity therapies. Earlier work on cross-modal sensory integration reveals a foundational interest in human psychophysics underpinning his applied research. Collectively, Pei's body of work has meaningfully advanced the field of neurorehabilitation robotics, offering both engineering insights and evidence-based clinical guidance for practitioners worldwide.
