About
Dr. M. Rogers is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation and assistive technology, with a focus on improving mobility and quality of life for individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). Her most-cited work, a 2024 study on wheelchair users with chronic SCI, explores the transformative potential of wearable robotic exoskeletons (WREs) for walking programs. This research, which has already garnered 7 citations, provides critical insights into participants' perspectives, concerns, and expectations regarding WRE use in home and community settings. By combining qualitative methods with rigorous rehabilitation science, Dr. Rogers bridges the gap between cutting-edge technology and real-world application, addressing barriers to adoption and highlighting the psychosocial benefits of adapted physical activity. Her contributions are shaping how clinicians and engineers design patient-centered interventions, emphasizing user autonomy and long-term engagement. Dr. Rogers' work stands out for its focus on lived experience, ensuring that technological advances translate into meaningful improvements in daily life. Her research is essential reading for students and professionals in rehabilitation engineering, physical therapy, and assistive technology, offering a roadmap for inclusive, community-based neurorehabilitation.
