About

Dongho Park is a prominent researcher specializing in rehabilitation robotics, wearable exoskeleton technology, and neurological motor rehabilitation, with a particular focus on pediatric and stroke populations. His work sits at the intersection of biomedical engineering and clinical rehabilitation, advancing how robotic systems can restore and enhance human mobility. Park's most significant contributions center on robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) using untethered, overground wearable exoskeletons. His 2021 study on pediatric cerebral palsy — now with 34 citations — was among the first to rigorously evaluate exoskeletal RAGT in children with this common developmental motor disorder, demonstrating that intent-based robotic assistance could deliver realistic, free-range walking experiences. His 2024 follow-up work, accumulating 25 citations, further validated the effectiveness of this approach through refined clinical investigation. More recently, Park has expanded into adaptive control systems, proposing an online personalization framework for stroke patients that dynamically adjusts exoskeleton assistance to accommodate individual gait variability — addressing a critical barrier to real-world exoskeleton adoption. Collectively, his research is reshaping the clinical landscape of robotic rehabilitation, offering evidence-based pathways toward more accessible and personalized mobility solutions for individuals with neurological conditions.
