About

Hyun Im Moon is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a focus on stroke recovery and the application of robotic and video game-based therapies. Her work centers on optimizing motor and functional outcomes for stroke patients, particularly those with upper limb impairments and poor sitting balance. Moon’s major contributions include identifying key predictors of success in robot-assisted therapy, such as in her 2019 study (17 citations), which helps clinicians stratify patients for more effective treatment. She also pioneered dose-related investigations into video game trunk control training, demonstrating through her 2018 work (7 citations) that targeted, repetitive training using the Trunk Stability Rehabilitation Robot Balance Trainer can significantly improve sitting balance in chronic stroke patients. These studies have advanced personalized rehabilitation strategies, offering evidence-based guidelines for therapy intensity and patient selection. Moon’s research is highly cited for its practical implications, directly informing clinical protocols and the design of interactive rehabilitation technologies. Her work bridges engineering and clinical neuroscience, making her a key figure in the growing field of technology-assisted stroke rehabilitation.
