Khue Phan, MS

Personal Statement

Khue earned her biomedical engineering degree with a focus in biomechanics and neurorehabilitation robotics at The Catholic University of America where she worked as a research assistant at the university’s Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center. She assisted with many projects investigating the outcome of robotic therapy on stroke brain plasticity and developed home therapy robotic exoskeletons for upper extremity stroke rehabilitation. Khue utilized a motion capture system to research the effect of rehabilitation exoskeletons in virtual reality and real-world environments. She is excited to join Texas Children’s motion analysis team and contribute her knowledge in the clinic.  

Clinical Interests:  

The implementation of motion capture in clinical decision-making and patient care 

Research Interests:
