Yen-Sheng Lin, PhD
About Me
Dr. Yen-Sheng (Johnny) Lin is a postdoctoral fellow at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago and a TL1 scholar in Northwestern University Clinical and Translational Science Institute. He is currently studying the neuromusculoskeletal mechanism underlying abnormal movement behavior. His research interest is developing an early interventional paradigm to prevent the development of neuromusculoskeletal injury and facilitate improvements in mobility dysfunction resulted from neurodevelopmental disorders. His long term goal is to address the challenges in the field of rehabilitation medicine among individuals with lifelong neurological disabilities across their lifespan. He is especially like to combine his training in engineering with the interest in rehabilitation science and technology to focus his research paradigm on developing screening/diagnosis/intervention tools.
