About
Jung-Eun Lim is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, specializing in upper limb robotic therapy for individuals with tetraplegic spinal cord injury (SCI). Her work focuses on developing and validating innovative robotic interventions to restore hand and arm function, offering new hope for patients with severe motor impairments. In her landmark 2019 study, "Effects of Combined Upper Limb Robotic Therapy in Patients With Tetraplegic Spinal Cord Injury" (32 citations), she demonstrated that robotic therapy significantly outperformed conventional occupational therapy, establishing evidence-based guidelines for optimized treatment protocols. Her earlier pilot randomized controlled trial (2018, 19 citations) provided foundational proof-of-concept, showing measurable improvements in motor recovery and functional independence. With cumulative citations exceeding 50, Lim’s research bridges the gap between engineering and clinical practice, directly impacting rehabilitation protocols worldwide. Her work is notable for its rigorous methodology and patient-centered outcomes, making her a key figure in advancing assistive robotics for SCI. Lim’s contributions continue to shape how clinicians integrate technology into neurorehabilitation, improving quality of life for tetraplegic patients.
