About
Dr. WanHee Lee has made significant contributions to neurorehabilitation, with a primary focus on the efficacy of robot-assisted therapy for upper extremity recovery in stroke patients. Her most-cited work, a 2017 systematic literature review, critically evaluated randomized controlled trials to determine whether robotic intervention benefits acute and subacute stroke survivors. This seminal paper, garnering 30 citations, established a foundational evidence base that guides clinicians in integrating technology into early-stage rehabilitation protocols. Dr. Lee’s research addresses a critical gap in stroke recovery—optimizing motor function during the neuroplastic window—by rigorously assessing treatment outcomes and methodological quality. Her work not only highlights the potential of robotic systems to enhance traditional therapy but also underscores the need for standardized assessment metrics. Through her systematic approach, Dr. Lee has advanced the understanding of how automated, repetitive task training can accelerate upper limb recovery, influencing both clinical practice and future research directions in rehabilitation engineering. Her contributions remain vital for students and researchers exploring the intersection of robotics and neurorehabilitation.
