About

Grace Kim is an Associate Professor in the Occupational Therapy Department at NYU Steinhardt. She holds a bachelor's degree in Psychology from the University of California, Davis, a master's degree in Occupational Therapy from Columbia University, and a PhD in Occupational Therapy from New York University, obtained in 2016. Dr. Kim has extensive clinical experience working with adults with neurological disabilities in acute and inpatient rehabilitation hospital settings. She has worked as a clinician-researcher in the Rehabilitation Medicine department at New York Presbyterian, Weill Cornell Medical Center, where she gained expertise in upper extremity robotics technologies, outcome measurement, and intervention implementation in stroke rehabilitation. Her research focuses on the intersection of technology, neurorehabilitation, and client-centered care. She is particularly interested in the use of affordable mobile and wearable technologies and shared decision-making approaches to maximize real-world outcomes for stroke survivors living in the community. Dr. Kim is actively involved in teaching courses related to Evidence-based Practice, Ethics & Analytic Reasoning, and Neurorehabilitation. She also serves as a research and academic mentor for master's and doctoral students in the Occupational Therapy and Rehabilitation Science programs, as well as for undergraduates in the R25 Research Education in Cardiovascular Conditions program at NYU Rory Meyers School of Nursing.

  1st authorCorresponding

  PURPOSE: To address the gap in the literature and clarify the expanding role of wearable sensor data in stroke rehabilitation, we summarized the methods for upper extremity (UE) sensor-based assessment and sensor-based treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The guideline outlined by the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis extension for scoping reviews was used to complete this scoping review. Information pertaining to participant demographics, sensory information, data…
