1、Rehabilitation Robotics Laboratory, University of Shanghai for Science and Technology

University of Shanghai for Science and Technology (USST) is one of the top universities in China, with the first independent medical device college and the oldest medical device discipline. Since 2006, it has been set up the first undergraduate training program in rehabilitation engineering in the world. In recent years, the discipline of rehabilitation engineering in USST has gotten a fast development relying on the Institute of Rehabilitation Engineering and Technology. Nowadays, there are two provincial-level scientific research platforms, “Shanghai Engineering Research Center of Assistive Devices” (SERCAD) and “Key Laboratory of Neural-functional Information and Rehabilitation Engineering of the Ministry of Civil Affairs”.

SERCAD is the largest high-level research-based on rehabilitation engineering in China. Now SERCAD has a total of 67 people, including 18 professors, 27 associate professors, 50 of whom hold Doctor’s degrees. The rehabilitation engineering team has a core team which contains 30 people, including 11 professors and 15 associate professors who are all majored in rehabilitation engineering. This wonderful team has developed a series of innovative rehabilitation devices and technologies. The team mainly conducts research in three fields: basic research on neuromodulation and neuro-electrophysiology, basic research on applications of biomechanics and intelligent motion perception, and application research on rehabilitation robots. The emphasis is on the application of intelligent rehabilitation equipment and systems, including three major directions: neural rehabilitation robot, rehabilitation nursing, and assistive robot, and intelligent prosthesis.

2、Engineering Research Center for Traditional Chinese Medicine Intelligent Rehabilitation, Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine

The Engineering Research Center for Traditional Chinese Medicine Intelligent Rehabilitation, under the Ministry of Education (ERC-TCMIR), was established in December 2019. This center capitalizes on the strengths of universities to focus on the functional rehabilitation and reconstruction for brain diseases. It aims to construct a vast, multimodal database and cloud platform that integrates the traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) four-diagnosis and syndrome differentiation information, rehabilitation function assessment data, and brain science technology insights. The center is dedicated to advancing research in machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms to accurately pinpoint key neural circuits essential for functional recovery. It endeavors to develop personalized and standardized TCM intelligent rehabilitation treatment plans, leading to the creation of innovative diagnostic and treatment technologies, rehabilitation equipment, and application standards in TCM intelligent rehabilitation. These advancements will possess independent intellectual property rights and core competitiveness, particularly in making breakthroughs.

The initiative aligns with the national health strategy, addressing the challenges posed by an aging population and propelling the rapid and healthy growth of China's rehabilitation industry. Furthermore, the center fosters close collaboration with leading global rehabilitation engineering institutions to cultivate top-tier talent in TCM intelligent rehabilitation. It aims to establish a premier brain rehabilitation innovation team in China, positioning itself as a multidisciplinary platform that bridges Traditional Chinese and Western medicine, rehabilitation, brain science, and intelligent engineering. The center is committed to becoming a national-level platform for scientific and technological innovation, driving forward the field of TCM intelligent rehabilitation.
