About

Young Sook Park is a pioneering researcher in rehabilitation robotics, with a primary focus on developing accessible, patient-centered technologies for stroke recovery. Her most cited work, "Haptic based gait rehabilitation system for stroke patients" (2016, 14 citations), addresses a critical gap in the field: the lack of simple, compact, and easy-to-use devices for chronic stroke patients who can stand and move but still require targeted lower limb rehabilitation. By integrating haptic feedback into gait training systems, Park’s research bridges the gap between complex robotic exoskeletons and practical, everyday rehabilitation tools. Her contributions emphasize usability and patient autonomy, making advanced therapy more attainable for those in the chronic phase of recovery. While her citation count reflects a focused and emerging impact, Park’s work is notable for its direct clinical relevance and its potential to reshape post-stroke care. Her dedication to affordable, effective rehabilitation solutions positions her as a key innovator in assistive robotics, inspiring future research in haptic-based therapies and patient-driven recovery technologies.
