About
Yu-Sheng Yang is a leading researcher in rehabilitation robotics, with a primary focus on developing advanced exoskeleton systems for motor recovery. His work bridges mechanical design, multi-axis motor control, and clinical application, targeting both lower limb and upper extremity impairments. Yang’s foundational study on a multi-axis motor control system for a lower limb robotic exoskeleton (LLRE) introduced an adjustable aluminum alloy structure driven by four Maxon brushless DC motors, achieving precise, coordinated motion for gait assistance. This work, cited 18 times, established key control architectures for wearable robotics. More recently, Yang investigated the effectiveness of a powered hand exoskeleton for chronic stroke survivors, addressing the critical need for affordable, accessible rehabilitation tools. His 2025 study demonstrated significant improvements in upper extremity function, offering a cost-effective solution for hand recovery—a vital contribution given the high prevalence of post-stroke impairment. With a growing citation impact, Yang’s research is shaping the next generation of robotic rehabilitation devices, combining mechanical innovation with evidence-based clinical outcomes to enhance functional independence and quality of life for individuals with neurological injuries.
