About

The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust has supported CUHK to launch a three-year project 'CUHK Jockey Club HOPE4Care Programme' to implement four evidence-based advanced rehabilitation technologies in 40 local elderly day care centres and rehabilitation centres, to benefit the community.

Our research team had developed the "Interactive FES Cycling System" that can be used as tools for rehabilitation by individuals who have suffered from a stroke or elderly. The system can integrate both motor power and muscle power in order to facilitate an active rehabilitative exercise.
