About
Dr. Sang Beom Kim is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a focused expertise on integrating robotic technologies to restore function after stroke. His work centers on the use of upper extremity rehabilitation robots to address two of the most debilitating post-stroke conditions: motor impairment and hemispatial neglect. Dr. Kim’s major contributions include pioneering evidence that robot-assisted game training significantly improves upper extremity function and daily living activities in stroke patients, outperforming conventional therapy alone. He has also demonstrated the efficacy of robotic stretching and strengthening exercises in reducing spasticity, offering a novel, non-pharmacological intervention. Notably, his research extends to cognitive rehabilitation, showing that combining robotic therapy with low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can effectively treat hemispatial neglect, a condition often resistant to standard care. His most cited works, including a 2017 study with 37 citations and a 2016 paper with 32 citations, have established benchmarks for robotic rehabilitation protocols. Through his innovative, caregiver-driven in-ward training models, Dr. Kim is shaping the future of accessible, technology-enhanced stroke recovery.
