About
Hyun Yoon Ko is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a primary focus on robot-assisted gait training for stroke survivors. Her work is centered on optimizing recovery of locomotor functions in patients with subacute stroke, a critical window for neural plasticity. Ko's most cited study (2018, 36 citations) provides groundbreaking insights by comparing the effects of progressive reducing assistance force versus full assistance force during robot-assisted gait training. This research demonstrates that tailoring robotic support—gradually decreasing assistance—can significantly enhance walking outcomes when combined with conventional physiotherapy. By challenging patients to engage their own motor control, Ko's approach shifts rehabilitation from passive support to active recovery, offering a more effective strategy for restoring mobility. Her contributions have helped refine clinical protocols for robotic therapy, directly impacting how clinicians design post-stroke rehabilitation programs. Ko's work continues to influence the integration of assistive technologies in neurorehabilitation, making her a key figure in advancing evidence-based, patient-centered recovery for individuals with neurological impairments.
