About
Jang-hoon Shin is a leading researcher in the rapidly evolving field of wearable robotic exoskeletons for human health and rehabilitation. His work focuses on the clinical application of assistive robots—particularly Samsung Electronics' EX1 and Bot Fit systems—to improve physical function across the lifespan. Shin’s major contributions include demonstrating the effectiveness of robot-assisted exercise programs for fall prevention, gait improvement, and muscle strengthening in older adults, a population at high risk for mobility decline. His 2023 study on the EX1 hip-assist robot (15 citations) showed significant benefits from just a four-week combined exercise program, while his 2024 randomized controlled trial on Bot Fit (7 citations) provided robust evidence for interval walking interventions. Shin has also explored robot-assisted resistance training during stair climbing and the ergonomic benefits of lumbar support for sedentary posture correction. With a growing body of work spanning young adults to seniors, Shin is at the forefront of translating wearable robotics from engineering labs into practical, evidence-based interventions that enhance mobility, balance, and quality of life.
