About
Hoo Young Lee is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a focused expertise in robotic-assisted therapy for individuals with acquired brain injuries, particularly stroke. Her work centers on evaluating and comparing the clinical effectiveness of lower-limb and upper-limb rehabilitation exoskeletons, such as the Lokomat and Walkbot, to improve motor function and balance. A major contribution is her 2021 study on non-ambulatory chronic brain injury survivors, which provided critical comparative data on robotic gait training’s impact on lower extremity function, garnering 17 citations. More recently, her 2024 multicenter randomized controlled trial, with 15 citations, has advanced the field by demonstrating the benefits of robot-assisted upper-limb rehabilitation from the subacute stage, stratified by stroke severity. This work is notable for its rigorous methodology and direct clinical implications, helping to refine rehabilitation protocols. Lee’s research is instrumental in shaping evidence-based practice for robotic neurorehabilitation, offering clear insights into when and for whom these technologies are most effective. Her contributions are highly valued by clinicians and researchers seeking to optimize recovery outcomes for stroke and brain injury survivors.
