About the Lab

Professor Seyoung Lee's research lab specializes in lower extremity biomechanics, with a primary focus on chronic ankle instability (CAI) and its systemic effects on joint function, physical activity, and quality of life. The lab investigates the interplay between ankle joint pathology, structural alignment, sensory impairments, and downstream impacts on the knee and lower limb function. Research directions include clinical assessment tools (e.g., Y-Balance Test, FAAM, WOMAC), injury epidemiology in athletes and dancers, and the efficacy of manual therapy interventions such as joint mobilization. The lab also explores long-term consequences of athletic injuries, particularly in retired athletes and pre-professional dancers.

Physical Therapy KoreaOA

Understanding sciences behind fall-related hip fractures in older adults is important to develop effective interventions for prevention. The aim of this review is to provide biomechanical understanding and prevention strategies of falls and related hip fractures in older adults, in order to guide future research directions from biomechanical perspectives. While most hip fractures are due to a fall, a few of falls are injurious causing hip fractures, and most falls are non-injurious. Fall mechani

Characterizing the Compressive Force at L5/S1 During Patient Transfer From Bed to Wheelchair
Seyoung Lee, Kitaek Lim, Woochol Joseph Choi
SJR Q2Journal of Applied Biomechanics

The peak compressive forces at L5/S1 during patient transfers have been estimated. However, no study has considered the actual patient body weight that caregivers had to handle during transfers. We developed a simple kinematic model of lifting to address this limitation. Fifteen prospective health care providers transferred a 70-kg individual who mimicked a patient ("patient") from bed to wheelchair. Trials were acquired with the patient donning (weighted) and doffing (unweighted) a 5-kg weight
