About
Woo Hyung Lee is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation robotics, with a focus on restoring motor function in patients with neurological disorders. His work bridges robotic-assisted therapy and noninvasive brain stimulation to enhance recovery after stroke and in Parkinson’s disease. In a landmark pilot study (72 citations), Lee demonstrated that combining robotic-assisted gait training with transcranial direct current stimulation significantly improves walking outcomes in chronic stroke patients, opening new avenues for integrated rehabilitation. He has also advanced understanding of spasticity in exoskeleton design (35 citations), establishing biomechanical guidelines for safer, more effective wearable robots. Lee’s use of inertial measurement units to characterize upper extremity motion (33 citations) has informed rehabilitation robot workspace design for activities of daily living. His research extends to Parkinson’s disease, where he showed robot-assisted gait training improves gait automaticity (23 citations), and to assistive technologies, including path planning for autonomous wheelchairs and vision-aided brain-machine interfaces for spinal cord injury patients. With over 200 total citations, Lee’s work is shaping the future of personalized, technology-driven neurorehabilitation.
