About
Kuem Ju Lee is a rehabilitation medicine researcher whose work sits at the intersection of robotic-assisted therapy and functional recovery in neurological and trauma populations. Lee has made particularly notable contributions to the emerging field of robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) in burn injury rehabilitation — an area that remains significantly understudied despite the profound physical impairments burn survivors face. Their 2020 randomized controlled trial employing the SUBAR® wearable robotic system represents one of the more rigorous investigations into RAGT for burn patients, attracting 18 citations and helping establish an evidence base for this specialized application. A complementary preliminary study from the same year further expanded these findings, accumulating 12 citations and underscoring Lee's sustained focus on this patient population. Broadening beyond burn care, Lee has also explored robotic upper extremity rehabilitation in stroke, examining the nuanced effects on dual-task cognitive-motor performance in hemiplegic patients. Collectively, Lee's research advocates for technology-driven rehabilitation strategies across diverse clinical conditions, offering clinicians practical evidence to guide the integration of robotics into modern recovery protocols and positioning Lee as a meaningful voice in translational rehabilitation science.
