About

Dr. Ho Jun Lee is a leading figure in neurorehabilitation, with a primary focus on restoring mobility after spinal cord injury (SCI). His seminal 2017 systematic review on robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) using the Lokomat, cited over 300 times, critically evaluated the neurophysiological mechanisms—such as central pattern generator activation and task-specific massed practice—that underpin walking recovery. While his work highlighted the promise of RAGT, it also identified a critical gap: the lack of definitive evidence for its superiority over conventional therapy. This landmark paper has shaped clinical protocols and spurred further research into optimizing robotic rehabilitation. Dr. Lee’s contributions extend to advancing evidence-based practice in physical medicine, bridging engineering and neuroscience to improve functional outcomes for individuals with paralysis. His influence is reflected in the widespread adoption of his findings by rehabilitation centers and researchers worldwide, making him a key voice in the ongoing effort to translate robotic technology into tangible patient benefits.
