About
Dr. Jiho Park is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation and robotic-assisted gait training, with a focus on restoring locomotor function in individuals with neurological impairments. His work primarily investigates how varying levels of robotic assistance can optimize recovery after stroke and spinal cord injury. In a pivotal 2018 study (36 citations), Dr. Park demonstrated that progressively reducing assistance force during robot-assisted gait training yields superior locomotor outcomes in subacute stroke patients compared to full assistance, challenging conventional rehabilitation paradigms. He has also validated the Walkbot-K robotic system for clinical use (15 citations) and explored its kinematic and kinetic benefits for both paraplegia and quadriplegia (25 citations). Notably, his innovative application of robotic hippotherapy showed measurable improvements in postural muscle size and stability in a child with cerebral palsy (16 citations). Across his most-cited works, Dr. Park has accumulated over 115 citations, establishing himself as a key figure in evidence-based robotic neurorehabilitation. His research bridges engineering and clinical practice, offering practical insights for therapists and engineers developing next-generation gait training technologies.
