About
Nikhita Badiani is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of rehabilitation science and emerging technology, with a particular focus on the clinical translation of robotic exoskeletons. Her most cited paper, “Physiotherapy students’ perspectives on the use and implementation of exoskeletons as a rehabilitative technology in clinical settings” (2020, 16 citations), provides critical insight into the barriers and facilitators to adopting wearable lower body robotic exoskeletons in physiotherapy practice. By centering the voices of future clinicians, Badiani’s research addresses a key gap: while exoskeletons offer promising task-specific overground gait training, their uptake remains limited. Her work highlights the need for targeted education, hands-on training, and institutional support to bridge the gap between innovation and real-world clinical use. This contribution is especially valuable for students and practitioners navigating the integration of advanced rehabilitation technologies. Badiani’s scholarship underscores the importance of human factors in technology adoption, making her a notable voice in the ongoing conversation about the future of physiotherapy and assistive robotics.
