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 education 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 one of the largest high-level research base 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 researchs 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 research of intelligent rehabilitation equipment and systems, including three major directions: neural rehabilitation robots, rehabilitation nursing and assistive robots, and intelligent prostheses.

2、Shanghai First Rehabilitation Hospital

The First Rehabilitation Hospital of Shanghai was established in May 2000 as the pioneering institution in the national health system to transition from a secondary comprehensive public hospital to a third-level standard rehabilitation hospital. Originally founded in 1923 as the Sacred Heart Hospital, the First Rehabilitation Hospital of Shanghai is now the Rehabilitation Hospital affiliated with Tongji University (in process), the Yangpu District Rehabilitation Medical Center, and the Rehabilitation Center for Disabled Persons in Yangpu District. Additionally, it serves as one of the first designated rehabilitation institutions for work-related injury insurance in Shanghai and a standardized training and teaching base for resident physicians specializing in rehabilitation medicine. The hospital’s transformation project was recognized as one of “20 Things About Shanghai Healthcare Reform and Development” when commemorating the 40th anniversary of China’s reform and opening-up policy. It has consistently ranked first in Shanghai for four consecutive years in the “National Rehabilitation Hospital Influence Ranking List”. The hospital has received numerous accolades, including the “First Shanghai Ten Innovations Nomination Award”, the “Advanced Collective of the Shanghai Health and Family Planning System” for the period 2015-2017, and “Excellent Rehabilitation Hospital” in the China Rehabilitation Medical Institution Alliance. It has also been honored as a “Shanghai Civilized Unit” for seven consecutive years.

With 500 authorized beds, the hospital primarily serves patients with common and frequently occurring diseases who need inpatient rehabilitation after an acute incident and/or after surgery. It offers clinical rehabilitation diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of specialized conditions and sub-healthy populations, alongside comprehensive rehabilitation service management. The hospital encompasses over 10 rehabilitation specialties, including neurological, musculoskeletal, cardiac, pulmonary, pain, spinal cord, oncological, geriatric, metabolic and renal, burn and wound, and pediatric rehabilitation, thereby forming a comprehensive clinical rehabilitation discipline. Special emphasis is placed on neurological, musculoskeletal, cardiopulmonary, and pain rehabilitation, focusing on chronic disease and postoperative rehabilitation. Focus on the construction of rehabilitation specialties such as neurological rehabilitation, musculoskeletal rehabilitation, cardiopulmonary rehabilitation, and pain rehabilitation. Rehabilitation services at the hospital adhere to all recommended standards, supported by rehabilitation evaluation, Physical Therapy (PT), Occupational Therapy (OT), Speech-language Pathology (SLP), Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), robotic-assisted therapy, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Innovative technologies, such as VR + gait training, dynamic virtual reality motion control, and 3D gait analysis are continually being integrated into assessment and treatment.

In 2019, the Kongjiang branch of the First Rehabilitation Hospital opened, incorporating an international-standard rehabilitation management model. This facility serves as a modern rehabilitation medical service demonstration area, encompassing neurological rehabilitation, musculoskeletal and sports rehabilitation, health management, and rehabilitation engineering research.

The First Rehabilitation hospital of Shanghai is committed to becoming a university-affiliated, tertiary rehabilitation hospital that excels in medical care, teaching, research, and modern management, aiming to achieve “international standards, national leadership, and Shanghai excellence”.

1、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.

2、Rehabilitation Center of  Shanghai Huashan Hospital

The Rehabilitation Center of Shanghai Huashan Hospital is located in Pudong District of Huashan Hospital, covering an area of 400 square meters, including physical therapy and manual therapy area and sports health assessment laboratory. The center has a strong cultural color of physical and medical integration, fully reflects the characteristics of physical and medical integration in the context of major sports medicine, and works with 11 strategic partners to jointly promote the development of sports and health.
