About

Keunyoung Park is a researcher focused on the intersection of robotics, motor control, and neurorehabilitation, with a particular emphasis on bilateral movement training for upper limb recovery. Her work investigates how the human motor and sensory systems coordinate bimanual tasks, especially in the context of post-stroke rehabilitation. Park’s key contributions center on understanding bilateral transfer—the phenomenon where training one limb improves performance in the other—and the role of proprioception and handedness in this process. She has explored the concept of the human “mirror-image” using robotic force fields to design more effective rehabilitation protocols. Though her most-cited papers have accumulated modest citation counts (ranging from 3 to 5), they represent foundational steps in the development of robot-assisted rehabilitation systems that leverage innate sensorimotor properties. Park’s research is particularly notable for its integration of engineering and neuroscience, offering insights that could shape future therapies for stroke survivors. Her work continues to inform the design of intelligent rehabilitation robots that adapt to individual motor and sensory capabilities.
