About
Therese E. Johnston is a leading researcher in rehabilitation science, with a primary focus on improving musculoskeletal health and functional outcomes for individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) and other neurological conditions. Her work bridges the critical gap between bone health management and rehabilitation practice. She is best known for her pivotal role in establishing the 2019 ISCD Official Position on bone mineral density testing in SCI, a landmark paper with 83 citations that provides essential clinical guidelines for osteoporosis screening and fracture risk assessment in this vulnerable population. Beyond this, Johnston has made significant contributions to understanding how electrical stimulation and exercise interventions can preserve bone density and muscle mass after paralysis. Her research has been widely cited, reflecting its direct impact on clinical protocols and patient care standards. Johnston’s work is notable for translating complex physiological findings into actionable clinical recommendations, making her a key figure in advancing evidence-based rehabilitation for individuals with mobility impairments.
