About
Keewon Kim is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of urologic surgery, neurorehabilitation, and wearable robotics. His primary research areas include intraoperative nerve monitoring during radical prostatectomy, robot-assisted gait training for neurologic disorders, and adaptive wearable devices for lumbar stabilization. Kim’s most impactful contribution is the establishment of a novel intraoperative monitoring and mapping method for the cavernous nerve during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, detailed in his 2019 first-in-human feasibility study (23 citations). This work addresses the critical challenge of preserving erectile function post-surgery. He has also explored robot-assisted gait training for hereditary spastic paraplegia, demonstrating activity-dependent neuroplasticity in a 2014 case report (9 citations). Most recently, Kim has developed a brace-type wearable robot for adaptive lumbar stabilization (2024, 2 citations), aiming to overcome the limitations of static braces that cause muscle atrophy. His corpus cavernosum electromyography (CC-EMG) work further advances intraoperative nerve monitoring. With a career focused on translating engineering solutions to clinical challenges, Kim’s research holds promise for improving functional outcomes in urologic and neurologic rehabilitation.
