About
Ki Yeun Nam is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a primary focus on robotic-assisted gait training and its application to spinal cord injury (SCI) recovery. Her most influential work, a 2017 systematic review on Lokomat therapy, has garnered over 300 citations, establishing a cornerstone in the field. Nam’s research critically examines the neurophysiological mechanisms behind robot-assisted gait training (RAGT), including the activation of central pattern generators and the benefits of task-specific, massed practice. While her seminal review highlighted the therapy’s ability to improve walking function and activity, she also identified a gap in clear, conclusive evidence for long-term efficacy, prompting further investigation. This balanced, evidence-based approach has made her a respected voice in rehabilitation science, guiding clinicians and researchers toward more rigorous trial designs. Nam’s work continues to shape how robotic technologies are integrated into clinical practice, advancing mobility outcomes for individuals with neurological impairments.
