About

Sohyun Jin is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a focus on leveraging high-tech interventions to restore motor function after stroke. Her work centers on the intersection of robotics, virtual reality, and game-based therapies, aiming to make rehabilitation accessible and effective in home settings. Her most-cited paper, "High-Tech Home-Based Rehabilitation after Stroke: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis" (2023, 19 citations), provides a critical synthesis of evidence on the efficacy of robotic and virtual reality devices for improving physical function in stroke survivors. This meta-analysis, which systematically reviewed databases like Embase and PubMed, established key effect sizes that guide clinicians and engineers in designing scalable, technology-driven recovery programs. Beyond this landmark review, Jin has contributed to the development of patient-centered protocols that integrate wearable sensors and gamified feedback, bridging the gap between clinical research and real-world application. Her work has been recognized for its potential to reduce healthcare costs and enhance quality of life, positioning her as a pivotal figure in the push toward decentralized, high-tech rehabilitation. For students and researchers, Jin’s research offers a roadmap for translating engineering innovations into tangible clinical outcomes.
