About
Young-Hyeon Bae is a rehabilitation science researcher whose work sits at the intersection of neurological recovery, assistive technology, and clinical gait training. Best known for pioneering investigations into robot-assisted gait training (RAGT), Bae has systematically explored how emerging technologies can restore mobility and functional independence in patients with chronic stroke and spinal cord injury. His most-cited work (59 citations), a 2014 randomized controlled trial, demonstrated the powerful synergy of combining RAGT with functional electrical stimulation to enhance locomotor recovery in chronic stroke patients — a finding that has meaningfully shaped rehabilitation protocols worldwide. Subsequent studies refined training methodologies further, comparing heart rate reserve-guided and ratings of perceived exertion-guided approaches to optimize high-intensity RAGT, ensuring interventions are both effective and individually tailored. Beyond stroke rehabilitation, Bae has broadened his scope to address caregiver burden in spinal cord injury populations and contributed important ethical frameworks for the development of care-assistance robots in domains such as feeding, toileting, and repositioning. His body of work reflects a consistent commitment to translating technological innovation into patient-centered, evidence-based rehabilitation practice, making him a notable voice in the evolving field of robotic-assisted physical medicine.
