About

Su-Hyun Lee is a leading researcher in the field of rehabilitation robotics, with a primary focus on developing wearable robotic systems to restore and enhance human mobility. Her work centers on the intersection of biomechanics, neural recovery, and human-robot interaction, particularly for individuals with neurological impairments. Lee’s most significant contribution is her pioneering research on gait training using a wearable hip-assist robot for chronic stroke patients, published in 2019 and cited over 110 times. This study demonstrated that robotic assistance can significantly improve locomotor efficiency and walking function, offering a new, evidence-based pathway for post-stroke rehabilitation. She has extended this work to ankle-assisted robotics, investigating immediate improvements in gait symmetry and speed for stroke survivors. Beyond clinical applications, Lee explores the use of wearable exoskeletons for anaerobic exercise in healthy adults, addressing public health challenges like sedentary behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic. Her research is notable for its translational impact, bridging engineering innovation with tangible clinical outcomes. With a growing body of work that continues to shape the future of assistive robotics, Su-Hyun Lee is a key figure in advancing technology-driven rehabilitation and human performance enhancement.
