About

Stijn Roggeman is a leading researcher in the field of rehabilitation robotics, with a primary focus on wearable exoskeletons and human-robot interaction. His work centers on understanding the biomechanical and psychological factors that drive successful adoption of assistive walking devices. Roggeman’s most cited paper, "Intrinsic motivation for using a wearable hip exoskeleton" (2022), addresses a critical gap in the field: why users choose to engage with robotic rehabilitation. By exploring the motivational drivers behind exoskeleton use, his research provides foundational insights for designing devices that not only improve gait but also encourage long-term adherence. This work has garnered 6 citations and is pivotal for clinicians and engineers aiming to reduce fall risk and institutionalization in populations with walking difficulties. Roggeman’s contributions bridge engineering and behavioral science, offering a holistic approach to assistive technology. His findings are shaping the next generation of patient-centered exoskeletons, making him a key voice in the movement toward more intuitive, user-friendly rehabilitation tools.
