Alison Rogers

Alison Rogers is a Lecturer in Physiotherapy at Keele University's School of Allied Health Professions and Pharmacy since 2016, teaching across undergraduate and postgraduate Physiotherapy programs with expertise in neurological rehabilitation. She serves as Exams Officer for MSci Physiotherapy and BSc Rehabilitation programs and Year 1 Head for MSci Physiotherapy.

Her educational background includes:

• Physiotherapy qualification from Cardiff University (2005)
• MSc in Advanced Practice for Health Professions (University of East London)
• PG Cert in Learning and Teaching (University of East London)
• PhD on 'Foot and ankle impairments affecting mobility in stroke' (VIVA passed July 2019)

Rogers' research centers on stroke rehabilitation with emphasis on lower limb biomechanics, neurological recovery, and outcome measurement. Her work investigates foot/ankle impairments in stroke survivors through plantar pressure analysis and sensorimotor assessment, developing interventions to enhance mobility and balance. Current focus includes aerobic exercise protocols and lower limb functional management post-stroke.

Her publication record (2016-2024) demonstrates consistent output in stroke biomechanics and rehabilitation, featuring systematic reviews on neuromuscular interventions, observational studies on somatosensory impairments, and methodological research on plantar pressure assessment. Key themes include interdisciplinary collaboration, patient-centered outcomes, and translation of biomechanical findings into clinical practice.

Supervision and funding activities include:

• PhD Supervision: Tawfiq Alsulami (High-intensity exercise in stroke)
• Undergraduate Mentorship: Three students analyzing plantar pressure data in stroke
• Research Funding: Scholl Podiatric Fund for FAIMIS project (multi-center stroke mobility study)

Rogers collaborates within Keele's innovative SAHP research teams and maintains clinical partnerships through her Oswestry area placement supervision. Her work bridges academic research with clinical practice through the FAIMIS project's University of East London/University of Plymouth partnership.
