About
Dr. Sun-Joung Leigh An is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation and assistive robotics, with a focused expertise in restoring mobility for stroke survivors. Her most cited work, a 2025 study on "Effect of Wearable Robot-Assisted Gait Training on Balance and Walking Ability in Subacute Stroke Patients," has already garnered 3 citations, highlighting its immediate impact. In this pivotal investigation, she compared wearable robot-assisted gait training to conventional treadmill training in 60 subacute stroke patients (average age 67), demonstrating that robotic assistance significantly enhances both balance and walking function. This contribution is critical in advancing evidence-based protocols for integrating wearable exoskeletons into clinical rehabilitation, offering a more effective, task-specific approach to retraining gait after neurological injury. Dr. An’s research bridges engineering and physical therapy, providing practical solutions for improving patient outcomes. Her work not only informs clinical practice but also sets a foundation for future innovations in robotic rehabilitation, making her a key figure in the movement toward technology-driven recovery for stroke patients.
