About
Hyeyoun Jang is a leading researcher in rehabilitation robotics, specializing in the development of wearable and exoskeleton systems for upper and lower limb recovery. Her work focuses on creating accessible, portable robotic solutions for patients with stroke-induced hemiplegia and other mobility impairments. Jang’s major contributions include the design of the WA-H (“walking assist for hemiplegia”) gait assistive robot, which demonstrated significant improvements in balance function during a 12-week clinical trial, and the HEXO-UR30A upper limb rehabilitation robot, shown in a randomized controlled trial to benefit chronic stroke patients. She also pioneered robust sliding mode control techniques to handle subject arm uncertainties, enhancing the safety and efficacy of upper limb robots. With over 115 citations across her most-cited works, Jang’s research has been published in leading rehabilitation and robotics journals. Her notable achievements include the development of the HEXAR-KR40P for knee osteoarthritis exercise and the optimization of link parameters for muscular strength aids. Jang’s work bridges engineering and clinical practice, making robotic rehabilitation more practical and effective for everyday patient care.
