About

Cora A. Woolsey is a leading researcher in neurological rehabilitation, with a particular focus on the integration of bionic exoskeletons into physiotherapy practice. Her work bridges the critical gap between emerging assistive technologies and the clinicians who implement them, exploring how overground exoskeletons reshape therapeutic workflows and patient outcomes. Her most cited study, "Physiotherapists’ Experiences Using the Ekso Bionic Exoskeleton with Patients in a Neurological Rehabilitation Hospital: A Qualitative Study" (2020, 66 citations), is a seminal contribution that addresses the paucity of research on technology’s impact on physiotherapists’ roles. By centering the clinician’s perspective, Woolsey’s research provides actionable insights for integrating robotics into rehabilitation settings, ensuring that innovation supports—rather than disrupts—patient care. Her work is essential reading for students and professionals navigating the intersection of human expertise and advanced technology in neurorehabilitation.
