About
Dr. Yeong-Ran Son is a distinguished researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a primary focus on developing and validating innovative robotic interventions for post-stroke recovery. Her work centers on the intersection of assistive technology and motor learning, specifically targeting trunk stabilization and its cascading effects on postural control and gait. In her landmark 2020 randomized controlled trial, cited 26 times, Dr. Son demonstrated that a trunk stabilization training robot (3DBT-33) significantly improves postural control and gait parameters in patients with chronic stroke. This study, involving 38 participants, provided robust evidence that targeted robotic trunk training can yield meaningful functional gains beyond conventional therapy. Her research is notable for its rigorous methodology and direct clinical applicability, offering a scalable solution for addressing persistent postural deficits in stroke survivors. By systematically quantifying the therapeutic effects of robotic trunk stabilization, Dr. Son has contributed a critical evidence base for integrating robotics into standard neurorehabilitation protocols, ultimately advancing the field toward more precise, technology-driven recovery strategies.
