About
Ki Hun Cho is a rehabilitation scientist and physical therapist whose research centers on robotic-assisted rehabilitation for stroke survivors, with a particular focus on upper extremity recovery and gait function. His work has substantially advanced the evidence base for robot-assisted therapy in both acute and chronic stroke populations, contributing systematic reviews, randomized controlled trials, and feasibility studies that collectively guide clinical practice worldwide. Cho's most influential contribution, a 2018 systematic review of robot-assisted gait training in subacute stroke patients, has garnered 68 citations, establishing a critical framework for evaluating robotic interventions in early-stage recovery. Complementing this, his 2017 systematic review of upper extremity robot-assisted therapy (30 citations) helped define best practices for arm rehabilitation in acute and subacute stages. His experimental work — including randomized controlled trials examining reach training protocols and comparative studies of high- versus low-inertia robotic arms — demonstrates a rigorous, nuanced approach to tailoring robotic interventions to individual patient needs. More recently, Cho has expanded into virtual reality-integrated robotics and over-ground walking assistance devices, reflecting his commitment to translating laboratory advances into ecologically valid, real-world rehabilitation contexts. His cumulative body of work, exceeding 200 citations, positions him as a meaningful voice in the growing field of technology-driven neurorehabilitation.
