About
Dr. Hae-Yean Park is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation and occupational therapy, with a focused expertise in patient-centered, technology-assisted interventions for stroke recovery. Her most influential work, a 2021 double-blind randomized controlled trial, rigorously investigated the effects of robot-assisted rehabilitation on upper limb function in subacute stroke patients. By integrating patient-preferred daily activities into the robotic therapy protocol, Dr. Park’s research pioneers a shift from generic robotic training to individualized, meaningful rehabilitation. This study, which has garnered 10 citations, provides critical evidence that aligning robotic assistance with a patient’s subjective functional goals can significantly enhance motor recovery and engagement. Dr. Park’s contributions are notable for bridging the gap between advanced rehabilitation technology and the core principles of occupational therapy—namely, client-centeredness and functional relevance. Her work has direct implications for clinical practice, offering a validated framework for designing more effective, personalized stroke rehabilitation programs. Through her research, Dr. Park is helping to shape a future where robotic tools are not just therapeutic devices, but partners in restoring independence and quality of life.
