About
Young Su Joo is a leading researcher in robotic-assisted rehabilitation, focusing on innovative therapies for neurological conditions such as spinal cord injury, stroke, and cerebral palsy. Her work centers on the Walkbot robotic gait training system, where she has demonstrated its profound effects on kinematics, kinetics, and clinical gait function in patients with paraplegia and quadriplegia. In her most-cited study (2018, 25 citations), Joo showed that Walkbot training significantly improves functional ambulation and daily living activities, offering a groundbreaking paradigm for recovery. She also pioneered research on robotic hippotherapy, revealing its long-term benefits for dynamic postural stability in cerebral palsy patients (2016, 4 citations), addressing critical balance dysfunction and fall risks. Joo’s contributions bridge cutting-edge robotics with clinical rehabilitation, providing evidence-based solutions for complex motor impairments. Her work has been instrumental in advancing assistive technologies, making her a key figure in neurorehabilitation. For students and researchers, Joo’s studies offer a compelling model of how robotic systems can transform patient outcomes, emphasizing precision, adaptability, and sustained therapeutic gains.
