About
Jessica Grissell is a rehabilitation researcher whose work focuses on the intersection of assistive robotics and neurorehabilitation, particularly for individuals with severe mobility impairments following chronic stroke. Her major contribution lies in evaluating the therapeutic potential of free-standing robotic exoskeletons, demonstrating that even years after a stroke, structured, upright therapy can yield meaningful improvements in motor function and overall health. Her most-cited study, a quasi-controlled trial involving 12 weeks of twice-weekly sessions, provided early evidence that robotic exoskeleton therapy is both feasible and beneficial for this underserved population, helping to bridge the gap between acute rehabilitation and long-term disability management. While her citation count is still growing, this work has been instrumental in shaping clinical conversations about the role of technology in chronic stroke care. Grissell’s research is notable for its pragmatic, patient-centered approach, emphasizing real-world applicability and measurable health outcomes. Her findings offer hope and direction for clinicians seeking innovative, evidence-based strategies to enhance mobility and quality of life in people with severe, long-term neurological deficits.
