About

Cho Rong Bae is a clinical researcher specializing in neurological rehabilitation, with a focused expertise in robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) and stroke recovery. Their work sits at the intersection of rehabilitation robotics and evidence-based clinical practice, addressing one of medicine's most pressing challenges: restoring mobility in stroke survivors. Bae's most significant contribution to the field is a randomized controlled pilot trial investigating overground powered exoskeleton therapy in subacute stroke patients, which has garnered 22 citations since its 2023 publication — a remarkable uptake reflecting the study's timely relevance to emerging rehabilitation technologies. This research provided critical early evidence for the clinical efficacy of 12-session RAGT protocols, helping to establish a foundation for exoskeleton use in acute rehabilitation settings. Building on this work, Bae has more recently explored the combination of high-intensity interval training with RAGT in chronic stroke populations, pushing boundaries by integrating cardiovascular training principles with robotic rehabilitation. Together, these contributions position Bae as an emerging voice in stroke neurorehabilitation, advancing clinicians' understanding of how technology-driven interventions can meaningfully improve gait outcomes and quality of life across different stages of stroke recovery.
