About

Hyun Young Kim is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a focused expertise in developing and evaluating technology-driven interventions for post-stroke motor recovery. Her primary research areas include trunk control rehabilitation, robotic-assisted therapy, and dose-response relationships in neurorehabilitation protocols. Kim’s most notable contribution is her pioneering investigation into the dose-related effects of video game-based trunk control training for chronic stroke patients with poor sitting balance. In her seminal 2018 study, she utilized the Trunk Stability Rehabilitation Robot Balance Trainer (TSRRBT) to demonstrate that targeted, technology-enhanced exercises can significantly improve sitting stability in this challenging patient population. This work, which has garnered 7 citations, is particularly impactful for establishing evidence-based parameters for rehabilitation intensity. Kim’s research bridges the gap between clinical rehabilitation and interactive technology, offering scalable, engaging solutions for long-term stroke recovery. Her findings provide critical guidance for clinicians designing personalized trunk control programs, and her innovative use of gaming interfaces represents a meaningful step toward more accessible, patient-centered neurorehabilitation.
