About

Dr. Taejin Choi is a leading researcher in rehabilitation robotics and human–machine interaction, with a core focus on restoring mobility for individuals with neurological impairments. His major contribution lies in developing intuitive, bio-signal-driven control strategies for gait rehabilitation robots. In his highly cited 2017 study, Choi pioneered a walking speed intention model that uses soleus electromyogram (EMG) signals from both nondisabled individuals and post-stroke hemiparetic patients. This work demonstrated that the activation of plantar flexors can reliably predict gait speed, enabling patients to control robotic exoskeletons based on their own neuromuscular intent rather than pre-programmed patterns. By translating physiological signals into real-time robotic commands, Choi’s research bridges the gap between human motor control and assistive technology, offering a more natural and adaptive rehabilitation experience. His work has garnered significant attention, with over 3 citations for this foundational paper, and continues to influence the design of patient-centered robotic therapies. Through his innovative approach, Choi is advancing the field toward more responsive, personalized neurorehabilitation tools that empower stroke survivors to regain walking independence.
