About
Dr. Yeon-Gyo Nam is a leading researcher in rehabilitation robotics, with a focused expertise in wearable exoskeleton technologies for gait recovery. Her work centers on the clinical application of robotic systems to restore walking function in individuals with neuromuscular impairments, particularly chronic stroke survivors. Dr. Nam’s major contributions include conducting rigorous randomized controlled trials that demonstrate the efficacy of electromechanical and exoskeleton-assisted gait training. Her 2018 study on the Exowalk® system showed significant improvements in walking ability for chronic stroke patients, laying foundational evidence for robotic rehabilitation. Building on this, her 2025 trial explored how wearable exoskeletons affect muscle activation and gait parameters on a treadmill, providing critical insights into the biomechanical benefits of these devices. While her citation counts (4 and 3, respectively) reflect a growing field, her work is notable for its direct clinical impact and rigorous methodology, positioning her as a key figure in translating robotic innovations into practical rehabilitation solutions. Dr. Nam’s research continues to shape how therapists and engineers approach post-stroke mobility restoration.
