About
Yaejin Moon is a leading researcher in rehabilitation robotics and geriatric biomechanics, with a focus on developing wearable robotic technologies to combat mobility decline and physical inactivity in aging populations. Her most-cited work, a 2022 study on a modular hip exoskeleton, demonstrated that community-dwelling older adults could significantly improve walking function and reduce sedentary time—a critical finding given that 35% of adults over 75 in the U.S. are inactive. This research bridges the gap between clinical exoskeleton studies and real-world application, showing that robotic assistance can be effectively deployed outside laboratory settings to promote active aging. With 22 citations and growing, Moon’s contributions are shaping how engineers and clinicians design interventions for healthy aging. Her work stands out for its emphasis on practical, community-based outcomes rather than purely mechanistic performance metrics, making her a key voice in translating assistive robotics from bench to sidewalk.
