About

Sung‐Bom Pyun is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a primary focus on restoring mobility and function in stroke survivors. His work centers on the clinical application of robotic-assisted gait training (RAGT), particularly using overground powered exoskeletons to improve walking outcomes in subacute stroke patients. Pyun’s major contribution lies in demonstrating the efficacy of these technologies through rigorous clinical trials, such as his 2023 randomized controlled pilot study (22 citations), which showed that 12 sessions of overground RAGT significantly enhanced gait function compared to conventional therapy. This research has helped bridge the gap between laboratory robotics and real-world rehabilitation, offering evidence-based protocols for integrating exoskeletons into clinical practice. Beyond this, Pyun’s broader impact includes advancing our understanding of neuroplasticity-driven recovery and optimizing rehabilitation timelines. His work has been widely cited by peers, reflecting its influence on both clinical guidelines and future device development. By combining engineering innovation with patient-centered outcomes, Pyun continues to shape the future of stroke rehabilitation, making him a pivotal figure for students and researchers interested in neurorehabilitation technology.
