About
Sung-Hwa Ko is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation and assistive robotics, with a primary focus on developing innovative technologies to restore motor function in individuals with neurological impairments. His most impactful work centers on the application of robotic systems for postural control and gait rehabilitation, particularly in chronic stroke survivors. In his landmark 2020 randomized controlled trial (26 citations), Ko demonstrated that trunk stabilization training using the 3DBT-33 robot significantly improves postural control and walking ability in chronic stroke patients, providing robust evidence for robot-assisted rehabilitation. This study, involving 38 participants, has become a key reference in the field, highlighting the potential of targeted robotic interventions to address persistent trunk instability—a major barrier to functional recovery. Ko’s contributions bridge engineering and clinical practice, offering scalable, evidence-based solutions that enhance patient outcomes. His work continues to influence the design of next-generation rehabilitation robots, making him a pivotal figure in advancing neurorehabilitation technology and improving quality of life for stroke survivors.
