About
Dr. Dina Brooks is a leading physiotherapy researcher whose work centers on neurorehabilitation, gait recovery, and the integration of assistive technologies into clinical practice. Her major contributions lie in understanding how innovative tools, such as wearable powered exoskeletons, can be effectively adopted for post-stroke rehabilitation. In her highly cited 2020 study (85 citations), she provides critical qualitative insights into the perspectives of both patients and physiotherapists, revealing the real-world barriers and facilitators to using exoskeletons for gait training. This patient-centered approach has helped bridge the gap between engineering design and clinical application. With a career spanning decades, Dr. Brooks has amassed thousands of citations, reflecting her profound impact on evidence-based physiotherapy. She is also recognized for her leadership in knowledge translation and for mentoring the next generation of rehabilitation scientists. Her work continues to shape how clinicians think about recovery, technology, and the human experience of rehabilitation.
