About
Dr. Zhiqing Tang is a pioneering researcher in neurorehabilitation and stroke recovery, with a specialized focus on the intersection of robotic-assisted therapy and brain plasticity. Her most-cited work, a 2024 fMRI pilot study, provides groundbreaking evidence that robot-assisted gait training can modulate neuroplasticity after stroke, using graph theory analysis to map functional brain network reorganization. This study, which has already garnered 15 citations, demonstrates how targeted robotic interventions can enhance motor recovery by reshaping cortical connectivity. Dr. Tang’s research bridges engineering and clinical neuroscience, offering new insights into how technology-driven rehabilitation can promote neural repair. Her contributions are particularly impactful for stroke survivors, as they suggest that gait training robots not only improve mobility but also induce measurable changes in brain structure and function. By integrating advanced neuroimaging with rehabilitation robotics, she has opened new avenues for personalized therapy protocols. Dr. Tang’s work is widely recognized for its translational potential, informing the design of more effective, evidence-based rehabilitation strategies that leverage neuroplasticity to restore motor function after neurological injury.
