Biography Dr Patrick Kwong is Assistant Professor (Physiotherapy) at the Department of Rehabilitation Sciences, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. Dr Kwong attained his BSc (Hons) in Physiotherapy, MSc in Manipulative Physiotherapy and PhD degree from PolyU. He has gained diverse clinical experience while serving in public hospitals as well as community and private settings.
Dr Kwong’s main research interests are stroke rehabilitation, balance and postural control, and gait biomechanics. Before joining PolyU, he had been appointed a postdoctoral research fellow in the Rehabilitation Research Institute of Singapore (RRIS). He was the co-investigator of the Ability Database project and Precision Rehabilitation project of RRIS, which aimed to develop data-driven rehabilitation solutions to facilitate motor recovery in people with disabilities.
His research has been published in recognised peer-reviewed international journals such as Scientific Data, Journal of the American Heart Association, Clinical Rehabilitation, and Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation.
