Seoung Hoon Park, Ph.D. is currently a postdoctoral research fellow in the Legs and Walking Lab at Shirley Ryan ³Ô¹ÏÌìÌÃ91 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.
