About
Myoung-Hwan Ko is a rehabilitation medicine researcher whose work sits at the intersection of robotic technology and neurological recovery, with a particular focus on stroke rehabilitation. His research has made significant contributions to understanding how robotic-assisted training systems can restore motor function, postural control, and gait in stroke survivors across recovery stages. Ko's most influential work includes a randomized controlled trial demonstrating the therapeutic benefits of a trunk stabilization training robot (3DBT-33) for improving postural control and gait in chronic stroke patients, which has accumulated 26 citations. His investigations span multiple dimensions of robotic rehabilitation, from overground powered exoskeletons for subacute stroke patients to compact upper extremity systems like the Neuro-X®, reflecting a commitment to making robotic therapies more accessible and clinically viable. His 2024 multicenter trial examining high-intensity interval robot-assisted gait training further expanded the field by addressing cardiopulmonary outcomes alongside mobility. With nearly 80 total citations across his most recognized publications, Ko has established himself as a meaningful voice in evidence-based robotic rehabilitation research. His work is particularly valuable to clinicians and engineers seeking practical, patient-centered applications of rehabilitation robotics in real-world stroke care settings.
