Bio

Dr. Yen-Ting Chen received his Bachelors and Masters degrees in physical therapy from the National Cheng Kung University in Taiwan. After that, he worked with Dr. Evangelos Christou for his PhD degree in the Department of Applied Physiology and Kinesiology at the University of Florida and finished in 2015. For his postdoctoral training, He worked with Dr. Sheng Li in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at the University of Texas Health Science Center-Houston McGovern Medical School from 2015 to 2020. He is currently an assistant professor in the Department of Health and Kinesiology at Northeastern State University.
His current research focuses on the motor performance and spasticity of stroke patients. He has authored 27 peer-reviewed articles and more than 35 published conference abstracts. He is also a review editor for the journal of Frontiers in Neurology and an ad-hoc reviewer for several journals.
