About
Dr. Seung Hak Lee is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, specializing in the integration of robotic-assisted gait training (RAGT) with neuromodulation techniques to restore mobility in patients with neurological disorders. His work focuses on enhancing motor recovery after stroke and in Parkinson’s disease (PD) by targeting gait automaticity and cortical plasticity. Dr. Lee’s most impactful contribution is a pioneering pilot double-blind, randomized controlled trial (72 citations) demonstrating that combining RAGT with transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) significantly improves walking function in chronic stroke patients—a population often considered beyond the window for substantial recovery. He further advanced the field by showing that RAGT can restore gait automaticity in PD patients (23 citations), addressing a critical deficit in habitual motor control. His recent pilot trial in subacute stroke (18 citations) explores the efficacy of end-effector robots, expanding the evidence base for early intervention. Dr. Lee’s work bridges engineering and clinical neuroscience, offering scalable, evidence-based protocols that are shaping modern rehabilitation practice. His research is essential reading for clinicians and scientists seeking to optimize recovery through technology-driven, personalized therapy.
