About
Yoon Soo Cho is a pioneering rehabilitation medicine researcher whose work sits at the intersection of burn care, robotic rehabilitation, and neuroscience. Specializing in robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) and advanced prosthetics for burn survivors, Cho has systematically built an evidence base for technologies that were previously untested in this vulnerable patient population. His landmark randomized controlled trial demonstrating RAGT's superiority over conventional training in burn patients — now with 18 citations — helped establish the clinical legitimacy of wearable robotic devices like the SUBAR® system in burn rehabilitation. Cho has further expanded this work by investigating the neurological underpinnings of recovery, using functional near-infrared spectroscopy to reveal how virtual reality reduces pain and modulates cerebral blood flow during rehabilitation, a study garnering 20 citations and representing his most impactful contribution to date. His research spans lower extremity gait restoration, exoskeleton-assisted hand rehabilitation, EMG-driven robotic training for scarred hands, and motion-mimicking prosthetics for partial amputees. Across nearly a dozen publications, Cho has accumulated over 80 citations, establishing himself as a leading voice in technologically augmented burn rehabilitation and an essential reference for clinicians seeking evidence-based approaches to one of medicine's most challenging recovery journeys.
