About
Won-Jae Lee is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a primary focus on the neural mechanisms underlying motor recovery after stroke. His most influential work, "Structural and functional improvements due to robot-assisted gait training in the stroke-injured brain" (2016, 32 citations), provides groundbreaking evidence that robotic gait training can induce measurable plasticity in both brain structure and function. This study demonstrated that targeted, repetitive locomotor therapy not only enhances walking ability but also promotes cortical reorganization, offering a mechanistic explanation for clinical improvements. Lee's research bridges the gap between rehabilitation engineering and neuroscience, showing how assistive robotics can drive adaptive changes in the injured brain. His contributions have been pivotal in advancing robot-assisted therapy as a standard intervention for post-stroke gait deficits, influencing both clinical protocols and the design of next-generation rehabilitation devices. With a citation impact that underscores the translational relevance of his work, Lee continues to shape how we understand and harness activity-dependent neuroplasticity in stroke recovery.
