About
Yuho Okita is a leading researcher in stroke rehabilitation, specializing in the optimization of robotic-assisted therapy for upper extremity recovery. Her work focuses on understanding how the level of robotic assistance influences motor function gains in stroke survivors with paresis. Okita’s major contribution includes demonstrating, through a sub-analysis of a randomized clinical trial (58 citations), that adjusting the robotic-assistance level can significantly impact upper limb outcomes, providing a data-driven foundation for personalized rehabilitation protocols. She also developed a simulation-based program to objectively determine optimal robot-assisted training settings, moving beyond traditional clinician intuition. Her research further explores the synergistic effects of combining robotic therapy with modified constraint-induced movement therapy, showing promise for patients with moderate to severe impairment. With a growing citation impact and a focus on translating engineering precision into clinical practice, Okita is shaping the next generation of evidence-based, technology-integrated neurorehabilitation.
