About
Jittima Saengsuwan is a rehabilitation researcher whose work sits at the intersection of neurological recovery, cardiopulmonary physiology, and advanced robotics-assisted technology. Her research has focused primarily on developing and validating innovative exercise testing and training methods for stroke patients with severe ambulatory impairments — a population historically underserved by conventional rehabilitation equipment. Saengsuwan's most significant contribution has been demonstrating the feasibility and reliability of the robotics-assisted tilt table (RATT) as a platform for cardiopulmonary exercise testing, establishing it as a viable alternative to traditional cycle ergometers and treadmills for patients who cannot independently ambulate. Her comparative analyses of peak and submaximal cardiopulmonary performance parameters across multiple devices have helped lay the groundwork for standardizing exercise assessment in neurologically impaired populations. More recently, she has extended this work into heart rate feedback control and heart rate variability monitoring during RATT-based exercise, reflecting a growing sophistication in her approach to individualized rehabilitation. With a body of work accumulating over 50 citations, Saengsuwan's research has meaningfully advanced the scientific basis for early, technology-assisted cardiovascular rehabilitation following stroke.
