About
Sook Joung Lee is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a focus on integrating robotic technologies and neuromodulation to restore function after stroke. Her work centers on two critical, often underserved domains: upper extremity motor recovery and the treatment of hemispatial neglect. Lee’s major contributions include demonstrating that robot-assisted game training significantly improves motor and daily functions in stroke patients compared to conventional therapy alone (37 citations). She has also pioneered the use of upper limb robots to reduce spasticity (32 citations) and, in a notable innovation, combined robotic therapy with low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to effectively treat unilateral spatial neglect (21 citations). Her research extends beyond the clinic, exploring caregiver-driven robot-assisted in-ward training to maintain gait function in subacute patients. With a body of work that consistently employs rigorous randomized controlled trials, Lee has established the efficacy of robot-assisted interventions for both motor and cognitive deficits, providing evidence-based pathways for integrating technology into standard stroke rehabilitation.
