About
Dr. Hye-Kang Park is a leading researcher in geriatric rehabilitation and assistive robotics, with a primary focus on enhancing mobility and quality of life for older adults. Her most impactful work centers on the clinical application of wearable exoskeleton robots, particularly the Bot Fit system, for exercise interventions. In her landmark 2024 randomized controlled trial, Dr. Park demonstrated that a structured interval walking exercise program using the Bot Fit robot significantly improves physical function in older adults, contributing to the growing evidence base for technology-assisted rehabilitation. This study has already garnered 7 citations within its first year, signaling its rapid influence in the field. Dr. Park’s research bridges the gap between cutting-edge robotics and practical geriatric care, addressing critical challenges in aging populations. Her work is notable for its rigorous clinical trial design and its focus on real-world applicability, making her a key figure in the development of exercise assist robots for fall prevention and mobility enhancement. Through her investigations, Dr. Park is shaping the future of non-pharmacological interventions for healthy aging.
