🌟𝐌𝐲 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐲𝐔 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲：由精英運動員到物理治療師新星🏅
來自中國香港的Kym，現於醫療及社會科學院修讀物理治療學，她分享了在理大蛻變和成長的經歷🌿。

「我於2022年透過『學生運動員學習支援及入學計劃』（SALSA）加入理大，這個計劃專門為協助運動員平衡學業與運動訓練而設。我自六歲開始接觸劍擊，並代表香港出戰各項國際賽事長達十五年🏆。

由全職運動員轉型成為物理治療學系學生，最初確實面對不少挑戰，但理大的支援令我適應得比預期順利。SALSA計劃和教授們的悉心指導，令我感受到鼓勵和支持。這些資源不僅幫助我融入大學生活，更讓我發掘了新的興趣，推動了個人成長💎。」

🌟𝐌𝐲 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐲𝐔 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲: 𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐄𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐀𝐭𝐡𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐀𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐡𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐬𝐭🏅
Kym, a Physiotherapy student at the Faculty of Health and Social Sciences from Hong Kong, China, shares her inspiring journey of transformation and growth at PolyU🌿.

“I joined PolyU through the Student-Athlete Learning Support and Admission Scheme (SALSA) in 2022, which is specifically designed to help athletes balance their sports commitments with academic pursuits. I am a Hong Kong elite fencing athlete who started fencing at the age of six and has spent 15 years representing Hong Kong in international competitions🏆.

Transitioning from a full-time athlete to a physiotherapy student was initially challenging, but PolyU made the process much smoother than I expected. With the dedicated support from SALSA and my professors, I felt encouraged and empowered every step of the way. These resources helped me not only to adapt to university life but also to discover new interests as well as support my personal development💎.“

近年隨科技進步，「機械腳」、又稱「外骨骼機械人」已經從醫院診所走入尋常百姓家，幫助長者於日常生活或走路上提供輔助。

但「外骨骼機械人」家用版同醫用版有咩分別？穿上後進行運動訓練會帶來咩效果？🤔 又係唔係每位長者都適合使用？

香港理工大學康復治療科學系實務副教授黃嘉豪先生早前接受《明報》訪問，分享咗「外骨骼機械人」係康復治療層面上嘅應用，以及如何為長者在日常動作中提供輔助。

In recent years, with advances in technology, “mechanical legs”, also known as “robotic exoskeletons” have moved beyond hospitals and clinics into everyday households, helping older adults walk with less effort.

But what’s the difference between the medical and recreational versions of “robotic exoskeletons? What benefits can exercising with them bring? 🤔 And are all older adults suitable candidates for wearing one?

Mr Curtis Wong, Associate Professor of Practice at the Department of Rehabilitation Sciences, shared his insights in an interview with Ming Pao Daily News, elaborating on the applications of robotic exoskeletons - from medical rehabilitation to mobility support for older adults.

理大康復治療科學系傑出校友獎2026結果公布

本學系很榮幸宣布，余德廣先生（Terence）獲選為理大康復治療科學系傑出校友獎2026得主。

余先生憑藉在兩大範疇中的卓越貢獻而獲選。近三十年來，他一直與理大保持深厚而持久的聯繫——擔任理大基金成員，慷慨贊助多項具里程碑意義的學系活動，包括泛太平洋康復會議及學系四十周年晚宴，並透過High Flyer Mentorship Programme培育新一代專職醫療人才。

他在創業方面的成就同樣出眾。作為創辦人，余先生帶領其公司發展成為醫療科技領域的領先力量，將地面步行外骨骼技術及國際金標準的等速肌力訓練創新系統等引入香港。他的工作提升了臨床實踐的水平，並為本地及中國內地的病人康復治療帶來實質改善。

余先生的人生歷程正體現了追求臨床卓越、勇於創新，以及真誠回饋專業與社會的精神。

本學系衷心感謝由系內、外成員組成的評審小組參與評審選拔。

再次恭賀余先生得此殊榮。他的成就啟發我們每一位，我們亦期待他日後繼續為本學系、理大及社會帶來正面的影響。

Announcing Outstanding Alumni Award of PolyU Department of Rehabilitation Sciences 2026

We are delighted to announce that Mr YU Tak Kwong Terence has been named the recipient of the Outstanding Alumni Award of the PolyU Department of Rehabilitation Sciences 2026.

Mr Yu was chosen in recognition of his exceptional contributions across two pillars of excellence. For nearly three decades, he has maintained a deep and enduring commitment to PolyU — serving as a member of the PolyU Foundation, providing generous sponsorship for landmark departmental events including the Pan-Pacific Conference on Rehabilitation and the 40th Anniversary Gala Dinner, and mentoring the next generation of allied health professionals through the High Flyer Mentorship Programme.

His entrepreneurial achievements are equally outstanding. As the founder, Mr Yu has grown his company into a leading force in healthcare technology, introducing innovations such as overground exoskeleton technology and gold-standard isokinetic systems to Hong Kong. His work has raised the standard of clinical practice and brought meaningful improvements in patient care — both locally and across the Chinese Mainland.

Mr Yu's journey embodies a commitment to clinical excellence, a spirit of innovation, and a genuine dedication to giving back to the profession and the community.

We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the assessment panel, comprising both internal and external members, for their thorough deliberation and consideration.

Please join us in congratulating Mr Yu on this well-deserved honour. His accomplishments inspire us all, and we look forward to the continued positive impact he will have on our Department, PolyU and our community.

隨著平台經濟普及，外賣員、快遞員及網約車司機等「新就業群體」為我們的日常生活帶來許多便利。然而，他們長時間工作所面對的職業勞損、健康問題與心理壓力，同樣值得社會關注。

為加強對這群基層工作者的支援，理大近日與山東省濟南市委社會工作部及凱瑟克基金簽署合作備忘錄，三方將整合政府、專業與公益資源，共同探索一項專為新就業群體而設的創新綜合服務模式。

合作計劃三大重點：
🔹結合社工專業督導與康復治療技術，全方位照顧工作者的心理及生理健康需要。
🔹項目結合政府政策、理大專業支援及基金會公益資源，建立「政策 + 專業 + 公益」的協同機制以確保服務精準落地。
🔹計劃率先於濟南市推行，期望未來能將此完善的關愛模式複製並推廣至更多地區，深化魯港合作。

With the popularisation of the platform economy, “new employment groups” comprising food delivery couriers, express couriers and ride-hailing drivers bring much convenience to our daily lives. However, the occupational strain, health issues and psychological pressure they face from long working hours also deserve society’s attention.

To strengthen support for these grassroots workers, PolyU recently signed an MoU with the Society Work Department of the CPC Jinan Municipal Committee and The Keswick Foundation. The three parties will integrate government, professional and philanthropic resources to jointly explore an innovative, comprehensive service model specifically designed for new employment groups.

Three Key Highlights of the Collaboration:
🔹 Combining professional supervision in social work with rehabilitation technology to comprehensively cater to the psychological and physical health needs of the workers.
🔹 Integrating government policy, PolyU’s professional support and the Foundation’s philanthropic resources establish a “Policy + Professional Expertise + Philanthropy” collaborative mechanism, ensuring the meticulous implementation of services.
🔹 Piloting the initiative in Jinan, with the aim of replicating and scaling this comprehensive care model to more regions in the future, thereby deepening collaboration between Shandong and Hong Kong.

【PolyU Education 4.0: Reshaping Allied Health Education through Innovation】

What if a student’s first clinical crisis wasn’t managed on a patient, but in an immersive virtual ward?

Through Education 4.0, PolyU bridges the gap between the classroom and clinical practice. Led by 2025 UGC Teaching Awardee Prof. Shirley Ngai, we integrate AI and immersive technologies to ensure allied health students become truly ready for the fast-paced world of clinical practice.

At the heart of this transformation is HiVE—the world’s first large-scale virtual hybrid classroom—where students hone clinical instincts in realistic settings without risk to patients. Beyond HiVE, students also benefit from high-fidelity simulation laboratories to AI-powered tutoring, forming a student-centred, technology-enabled learning ecosystem that moves learning beyond traditional lectures.

This shift is both technological and philosophical. We are evolving educators from content deliverers into mentors who leverage technology to enhance students’ learning, empowering future healthcare professionals with the confidence and empathy to navigate an increasingly complex clinical landscape.
