About
Gyu Lee Park is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, specializing in the neural mechanisms underlying gait recovery after stroke. His work bridges rehabilitation engineering and neuroscience, focusing on how robot-assisted and treadmill-based training paradigms engage cortical activity to restore walking function. In his highly cited 2016 study (42 citations), Park used functional near-infrared spectroscopy to demonstrate that different gait training modes—including stepping, treadmill, and robotic assistance—elicit distinct patterns of cortical activation, with speed and task complexity playing critical roles. This work provided foundational evidence for optimizing neurorehabilitation protocols by targeting specific brain regions. Park also identified clinical predictors of successful robot-assisted gait training in non-ambulatory subacute stroke patients (19 citations), showing that early intervention and preserved motor function are key indicators. His research has directly informed the design of personalized rehabilitation strategies, improving outcomes for patients with severe mobility impairments. By integrating neuroimaging with clinical trials, Park has advanced our understanding of locomotor neuroplasticity, making him a pivotal figure in the field of stroke rehabilitation and assistive robotics.
