About
Yu Chin Lim is a rehabilitation scientist whose research centers on restoring somatosensory function—particularly proprioception and kinesthesia—after stroke, with a strong emphasis on integrating robotics and technology into clinical practice. Her most cited work, a 2022 survey on current clinical practices, revealed that somatosensory impairments are frequently overlooked in stroke rehabilitation despite their critical role in motor recovery, highlighting a gap that her subsequent research directly addresses. Lim led the development of the Act.Sens (ACTive somatoSENSory) robotic retraining protocol, a pilot randomized controlled trial designed to improve upper limb function in chronic stroke survivors by leveraging robotic therapy to enhance sensory feedback and motor learning. Her 2025 feasibility analysis demonstrated that active reaching without visual feedback can improve somatosensory acuity and modulate brain network connectivity, offering a proof-of-principle for scalable, technology-driven interventions. With a growing citation record and recent work extending into balance control in older adults, Lim is establishing herself as a key contributor to evidence-based, technology-enhanced neurorehabilitation, bridging the gap between sensory deficits and functional recovery.
