About
Dr. Tae Im Yi is a rehabilitation researcher whose work centers on optimizing motor recovery after stroke, with a particular focus on robot-assisted therapy and trunk control training. Her major contributions include identifying key predictors—such as initial impairment severity and timing of intervention—that influence functional and motor outcomes following upper limb robot-assisted therapy, a finding that helps clinicians stratify patients for more personalized rehabilitation. In a pivotal 2019 study (17 citations), she demonstrated that factors like baseline motor function and lesion location can significantly shape therapy response, offering a framework for targeted treatment. Dr. Yi also investigated dose-related effects of video game-based trunk control training using the Trunk Stability Rehabilitation Robot Balance Trainer, showing in a 2018 study (7 citations) that chronic stroke patients with poor sitting balance benefit from higher training doses. Her work bridges cutting-edge robotics and practical rehabilitation protocols, providing evidence-based guidelines for improving post-stroke mobility and independence. Dr. Yi’s research is essential reading for clinicians and engineers developing next-generation neurorehabilitation technologies.
