About
Geonhyang Yun is a leading researcher in geriatric rehabilitation and wearable robotic technology, with a focused expertise on enhancing mobility and preventing falls in older adults. Her work centers on the clinical application of hip-assist exoskeletons, particularly Samsung’s EX1 and Bot Fit robots, to improve physical function through structured exercise programs. Yun’s major contributions include demonstrating the efficacy of a four-week combined exercise program using the EX1 robot, which showed significant improvements in muscle strength and balance among older adults—a study that has garnered 15 citations and established foundational evidence for robot-assisted geriatric care. She further advanced this field with a randomized controlled trial on the Bot Fit system, examining interval walking exercise’s clinical effects, which has already accumulated 7 citations. By bridging engineering innovation with rigorous clinical testing, Yun’s work directly addresses age-related muscle loss and fall risk, offering scalable, technology-driven solutions for healthy aging. Her research is notable for its practical impact, providing a blueprint for integrating wearable robots into community-based exercise interventions, and positioning her as a key figure in the intersection of assistive robotics and geriatric physiotherapy.
