About
Collin D. Bowersock is a leading researcher in rehabilitation robotics and neural engineering, focusing on restoring mobility and postural control for individuals with neuromuscular disorders and spinal cord injury (SCI). His work bridges innovative hardware design with neurorehabilitation strategies to address critical gaps in assistive technology. Bowersock’s major contributions include developing a quasi-passive robotic ankle-foot orthosis with speed-adaptive stiffness (2024, 15 citations), which overcomes the limitations of fixed-stiffness orthoses by optimizing gait across walking speeds. He also pioneered the Robotic Upright Stand Trainer (RobUST) for postural perturbation training in SCI (2022, 6 citations), and his studies on combining robotic postural training with spinal cord epidural stimulation (2023–2024) have demonstrated feasibility for restoring upright control in individuals with motor-complete SCI. His work on priming robotic plantarflexor resistance to enhance ankle power during exoskeleton gait training (2024, 4 citations) further advances cerebral palsy rehabilitation. With over 38 citations across his most-cited works, Bowersock’s research is shaping next-generation robotic systems that adapt to user needs, offering transformative potential for clinical gait and balance rehabilitation.
