About
Ismari Clesson’s research lies at the vital intersection of rehabilitation engineering and human physiology, with a primary focus on restoring mobility and improving health outcomes for individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). Her landmark 2015 study, “Acute Cardiorespiratory and Metabolic Responses During Exoskeleton-Assisted Walking Overground Among Persons with Chronic Spinal Cord Injury,” has garnered 131 citations, establishing her as a leading voice in the field. This work provided the first detailed evidence that exoskeleton-assisted walking not only enables immediate standing and ambulation but also elicits significant acute cardiorespiratory and metabolic demands—a critical insight for designing effective rehabilitation protocols. Clesson’s contributions extend beyond this foundational paper, as she continues to investigate how robotic exoskeletons can serve as both mobility aids and therapeutic tools to combat secondary health complications like cardiovascular deconditioning. Her research is distinguished by its rigorous, patient-centered approach, bridging the gap between cutting-edge technology and real-world clinical application. For students and researchers, Clesson’s work exemplifies how biomechanical innovation can be harnessed to transform lives, offering a compelling roadmap for the future of neurorehabilitation.
