We study the underlying neuralplasticity mechanisms of improved walking function after robotic-assisted locomotor training for patients with neurological injury.
view labAbout Me
Seoung Hoon Park, Ph.D. is currently a postdoctoral research fellow in the Legs and Walking Lab at Shirley Ryan 嫩B研究院 and in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Northwestern University.
Dr. Park’s research focuses on identifying neurophysiological mechanisms responsible for impaired motor control and learning in older adults and individuals with chronic stroke/spinal cord injury and improving walking function and balance in individuals with chronic stroke/spinal cord injury. Dr. Park earned his bachelor’s degree in kinesiology and master’s degree in motor control and learning from Seoul National University, South Korea. He earned his doctoral degree in motor neuroscience from the University of Florida.
