About
Jong Hwa Lee is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, specializing in robotic-assisted therapy for stroke recovery. His work focuses on restoring upper extremity function, reducing spasticity, and addressing hemispatial neglect—a challenging cognitive deficit following stroke. Lee’s landmark 2017 study demonstrated that combining robot-assisted game training with conventional therapy significantly improves motor and daily functions in stroke patients (37 citations). His 2016 research showed that robotic stretching and strengthening exercises outperform standard occupational therapy for upper limb spasticity (32 citations). Lee also pioneered the integration of robotics with low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), revealing synergistic benefits for hemispatial neglect (21 citations). His 2016 study further established the standalone efficacy of upper limb rehabilitation robots for neglect (18 citations). Notably, Lee’s case series on caregiver-driven robot-assisted in-ward training introduced a scalable model for subacute stroke rehabilitation. With over 110 citations across his top works, Lee’s contributions are shaping evidence-based protocols that merge technology with patient-centered care, offering new hope for functional recovery in stroke survivors.
