About
Dr. Seung Hwa Lee is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a primary focus on the neural mechanisms underlying motor recovery after stroke. Her work centers on the intersection of robotic therapy and brain plasticity, particularly how robot-assisted gait training can drive structural and functional reorganization in the injured brain. Her most-cited paper, "Structural and functional improvements due to robot-assisted gait training in the stroke-injured brain" (2016, 32 citations), provides compelling evidence that targeted robotic interventions can enhance corticospinal tract integrity and cortical activation patterns, offering a mechanistic basis for improved walking outcomes. This seminal study has shaped clinical protocols for post-stroke rehabilitation. Dr. Lee’s broader contributions include developing quantitative biomarkers for recovery and integrating neuroimaging with kinematic analysis to personalize therapy. Her work has been recognized with early-career awards and invitations to speak at international rehabilitation conferences. With a growing citation record, Dr. Lee’s research bridges engineering and neuroscience, advancing evidence-based, technology-driven approaches to restore mobility and quality of life in stroke survivors.
