Sukgyu Koh

About

Sukgyu Koh is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation robotics, specializing in the intersection of biomechanics and robotic therapy for stroke recovery. His work focuses on two key areas: designing exoskeleton robots that account for spasticity, and advancing robotic mirror therapy for hemiplegic arm rehabilitation. In his highly cited 2017 study (35 citations), Koh established critical guidelines for exoskeleton design by evaluating biomechanical reactions to spasticity in the elbow and wrist, directly informing the development of safer, more effective wearable robots. He is also a pioneer in robotic mirror therapy, where his 2016 paper (26 citations) introduced a novel system that provides real-time proprioceptive feedback to the impaired arm, enhancing the traditional mirror illusion. Koh’s clinical pilot study (15 citations) provided proof-of-concept for proprioception recovery, demonstrating significant improvements in sensorimotor function. His work on validating motion estimation systems (7 citations) ensures the reliability of these robotic interventions. With a total of over 95 citations across his core publications, Koh’s contributions are shaping the future of personalized, robot-assisted neurorehabilitation, bridging engineering precision with clinical need.
