About
Yi-Chien Lee is a neuroscientist whose research focuses on neurorehabilitation and recovery of motor function after spinal cord injury (SCI). Her work bridges robotic rehabilitation and skilled motor training, exploring how combined interventions can restore overground locomotion. In her most-cited study (2021), Lee demonstrated that integrating skilled reach training with robotic gait training significantly enhances locomotor recovery in rats with SCI, offering a novel, synergistic approach to rehabilitation. This work has garnered attention for its potential to translate into human therapies, with 3 citations to date. Lee’s contributions lie in understanding the neural plasticity mechanisms underlying task-specific training, and her findings have implications for designing more effective, multi-modal rehabilitation protocols. Her research is notable for its translational focus, aiming to improve quality of life for individuals with paralysis. As an emerging voice in the field, Lee’s work continues to shape how we think about combining behavioral and robotic interventions to maximize functional recovery after neural injury.
