About

You Hyeon Chae is a rehabilitation researcher whose work focuses on restoring motor function in chronic stroke survivors, particularly those with severe balance impairments. Her most-cited study, "Investigating the Dose-Related Effects of Video Game Trunk Control Training in Chronic Stroke Patients With Poor Sitting Balance" (2018, 7 citations), represents a pioneering effort to quantify rehabilitation intensity. In this retrospective analysis of 38 patients, Chae demonstrated that higher doses of trunk control training using the Trunk Stability Rehabilitation Robot Balance Trainer (TSRRBT) produced significantly greater improvements in sitting balance—a critical but often neglected function for patients with poor postural control. This work bridges virtual reality gaming and robotic rehabilitation, offering evidence-based dosing guidelines that challenge one-size-fits-all approaches. By targeting the trunk, Chae addresses a foundational element of mobility that enables subsequent standing and walking therapies. Her research stands out for its focus on a difficult-to-treat population—chronic stroke patients with poor sitting balance—and for providing clinicians with practical, dose-specific protocols. Chae’s contributions are shaping how rehabilitation robotics and gamified interventions are tailored to individual patient needs, advancing the precision of neurorehabilitation.
