About

Zan Yue is a leading researcher in the field of rehabilitation robotics, with a primary focus on restoring motor function in stroke survivors. Her work spans the critical areas of hand, lower-limb, and gait rehabilitation, addressing some of the most challenging aspects of post-stroke recovery. Her major contributions include comprehensive systematic reviews that have shaped the understanding of robot-assisted therapy, particularly for hand function and wearable ankle robots. Her 2017 paper on hand rehabilitation robotics has garnered 192 citations, while her review of lower-limb robotics has accumulated 149 citations, underscoring her influence in synthesizing and advancing knowledge in the field. More recently, Yue has explored the neural underpinnings of recovery, investigating how brain oscillations in EEG can serve as biomarkers for motor status and recovery during action observation-driven robotic hand interventions. This innovative work, published in 2023, demonstrates her commitment to bridging robotics with neurophysiology. Through her rigorous reviews and novel experimental studies, Zan Yue has established herself as a pivotal figure in developing evidence-based robotic interventions that improve the lives of stroke patients.
