About
Dr. Yoo Jung Park is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a primary focus on restoring mobility in stroke survivors. Her work lies at the critical intersection of robotic therapy and functional electrical stimulation (FES), exploring how these technologies can synergistically enhance motor recovery. Her most cited study, a randomized controlled trial from 2014, demonstrated that combining robot-assisted gait training with FES significantly improved locomotor function in chronic stroke patients—a population often considered to have plateaued in recovery. This work, cited 59 times, provided compelling evidence that integrated, technology-driven interventions can yield meaningful gains even years after a stroke. Beyond this landmark trial, Dr. Park has consistently investigated how to optimize rehabilitation protocols, bridging the gap between engineering innovation and clinical application. Her research is particularly valuable for its rigorous, evidence-based approach, offering practical insights for clinicians and inspiring further exploration into hybrid neurorehabilitation strategies. For students and researchers, Dr. Park’s contributions underscore the transformative potential of combining assistive technologies to push the boundaries of what is possible in post-stroke recovery.
