About

Leo Falzon is a physiotherapy researcher whose work bridges the gap between emerging rehabilitation technologies and clinical practice. His primary research focuses on the implementation of wearable robotic exoskeletons in physiotherapy, particularly for gait rehabilitation. Falzon’s most cited study, “Physiotherapy students’ perspectives on the use and implementation of exoskeletons as a rehabilitative technology in clinical settings” (2020, 16 citations), investigates the barriers and facilitators to adopting lower body robotic exoskeletons in clinical environments. This work highlights critical insights into how future practitioners perceive these technologies, addressing the disconnect between technological innovation and real-world application. By exploring students’ views, Falzon contributes to shaping educational curricula and clinical training to better prepare physiotherapists for integrating exoskeletons into practice. His research underscores the importance of user perspectives in driving technology adoption, making him a key voice in advancing rehabilitative robotics. With a focus on task-specific overground walking, Falzon’s work supports the goal of improving patient outcomes through evidence-based implementation strategies.
