About
Yung-An Kao is a researcher at the forefront of rehabilitation robotics and neuromuscular physiology, with a focus on understanding how robot-assisted therapy impacts motor function and muscle fatigue, particularly in post-stroke recovery. His work integrates myoelectric, myo-oxygenation, and myotonometry measurements to quantify physiological changes during bilateral arm exercises with varying resistances. Kao’s major contribution lies in demonstrating that while robot-assisted bilateral arm training effectively improves motor function with increased repetitions, prolonged sessions can induce both mental and muscle fatigue—a critical insight for optimizing rehabilitation protocols. His 2024 study, which has already garnered 2 citations, provides foundational evidence for tailoring resistance levels to balance therapeutic gains with fatigue management. This work has implications for designing more efficient, patient-centered robotic therapies. Kao’s research bridges engineering and clinical neuroscience, offering practical guidance for clinicians and engineers developing next-generation rehabilitation devices. His findings are particularly valuable for students and researchers exploring the intersection of human physiology, robotics, and motor recovery.
