About
Jeong Hoon Lim is a pioneering researcher in soft robotics and rehabilitation engineering, whose work has fundamentally advanced the design of wearable assistive devices for neurological and musculoskeletal conditions. His research centers on soft robotic gloves, brain-computer interfaces, and human-machine interaction, with a particular focus on restoring hand function in stroke survivors and individuals with conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and clenched fist deformity. Lim's most influential contributions include the development of fully fabric-based bidirectional soft robotic gloves that enable both finger flexion and extension, earning over 267 citations, and a stroke-assistive glove design that has garnered nearly 190 citations for its patient-friendly, low-profile approach. His innovative Brain-Computer Interface-based Soft Robotic Glove for stroke rehabilitation, cited over 150 times, represents a landmark fusion of neurotechnology and wearable robotics. Notably, he also pioneered MRI-compatible soft robotic gloves, enabling simultaneous rehabilitation and brain imaging — a remarkable technical achievement. Beyond the hand, Lim's work extends to ankle rehabilitation for deep vein thrombosis prevention. Collectively accumulating over 1,000 citations, his body of work has significantly shaped how clinicians and engineers approach accessible, comfortable, and intelligent rehabilitation robotics.
