About
Sohyun Kyeong is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a primary focus on understanding how robotic interventions can drive brain recovery after neurological injury. Her most cited work, a 2020 randomized controlled pilot study on robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) after stroke, has garnered 19 citations and provides critical insight into the mechanisms underlying motor recovery. In this study, Kyeong demonstrated that RAGT promotes measurable brain reorganization in the injured hemisphere, and that the timing of intervention—early versus late start—significantly influences neural plasticity and walking outcomes. This contribution is notable for bridging the gap between clinical rehabilitation and neuroscience, offering evidence that robotic therapy does more than improve gait mechanics; it actively reshapes cortical networks. Kyeong’s research has important implications for designing optimized, time-sensitive rehabilitation protocols for stroke survivors. Her work is widely cited by clinicians and scientists seeking to integrate neuroimaging biomarkers into rehabilitation trials, establishing her as a key voice in the growing field of robot-assisted neurorecovery.
