About

Mun-Hee Lim is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a primary focus on restoring mobility in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). Her key research areas include robot-assisted gait training (RAGT), predictive factors for functional recovery, and the application of advanced rehabilitation technologies. Lim’s most notable contribution is her pioneering work demonstrating that RAGT using the Lokomat system can significantly improve gait speed in patients with motor incomplete SCI. In her landmark 2017 preliminary study, she identified specific clinical features—such as baseline motor function and spasticity levels—that serve as predictive factors for successful outcomes, offering clinicians a data-driven framework for patient selection. This work, cited 16 times, has helped shape personalized rehabilitation protocols. Lim’s research bridges the gap between engineering and clinical practice, providing evidence that robotic interventions can enhance neuroplasticity and functional independence. Her findings have been instrumental in advancing the field of gait rehabilitation, making her a respected voice in SCI recovery. For students and researchers, Lim’s work exemplifies how targeted, technology-assisted therapies can transform patient outcomes, underscoring the importance of individualized treatment in neurorehabilitation.
