About
Yun-Jeong Jang is a leading researcher in rehabilitation robotics, with a primary focus on developing intelligent systems that restore and enhance human mobility. Her key research areas include haptic force interaction, overground gait rehabilitation, and human-robot collaboration for therapeutic applications. Jang's most significant contribution is the development of a novel robotic companion designed to provide real-time haptic force feedback during overground gait training—a breakthrough that addresses the critical gap between stationary rehabilitation devices and real-world walking conditions. Her landmark 2020 paper, which has accumulated 21 citations, demonstrates how somatosensory augmentation through external haptic cues can significantly improve a patient's ability to walk and maintain balance. This work has been instrumental in advancing the field of neurorehabilitation, offering a more natural and effective approach to restoring independent ambulation. Jang's research is particularly notable for its emphasis on user-centered design and clinical translation, bridging the gap between engineering innovation and tangible patient outcomes. Her ongoing work continues to shape the future of assistive robotics, making her a respected voice in the rehabilitation engineering community.
