About
Dr. Kyeong Bong Lee is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a primary focus on restoring locomotor function in individuals with neurological impairments, particularly chronic stroke survivors. His most impactful work investigates the synergistic effects of robot-assisted gait training combined with functional electrical stimulation (FES). In a landmark 2014 randomized controlled trial—cited 59 times—Dr. Lee demonstrated that this integrated approach significantly enhances recovery of locomotor mobility beyond conventional therapies alone. This study, involving 20 chronic stroke patients, provided critical evidence that combining robotic exoskeletons with FES can re-educate neural pathways and improve walking ability even in later stages of recovery. Dr. Lee’s contributions are foundational to advancing assistive technologies in rehabilitation, bridging engineering and clinical practice to create more effective, evidence-based interventions. His work continues to influence the design of robotic rehabilitation protocols and inspire further research into multimodal therapies for motor recovery, making him a key figure in the field of restorative neurology.
