Dr. Nicole Wysocki serves as Assistant Professor in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and Medical Education at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine. She maintains clinical appointments at Northwestern Memorial Hospital and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab in Chicago, where she provides specialized rehabilitation care.
Education:
- MD: Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (2003)
- Residency: Northwestern University, McGaw Medical Center (Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago) (2007)
- Board Certification: Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, American Board of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation
Her research program centers on bone health rehabilitation for neurological populations, with particular expertise in osteoporosis screening methodologies and vitamin D metabolism. Key investigations examine cardiovascular risk factors in cerebral palsy through anthropometric analysis and optimize bone density assessment protocols for spinal cord injury patients using quantitative ultrasound alternatives to DXA. Her medical education work integrates women's health perspectives into rehabilitation curricula.
Publication trends (2011-2023) reveal consistent focus on translational bone health research within neurorehabilitation, bridging clinical assessment techniques with functional outcomes. Studies demonstrate methodological innovation in bone density screening feasibility while addressing critical gaps in care for adults with cerebral palsy and spinal cord injury.
Dr. Wysocki maintains active professional engagement through memberships in the American Academy of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation (AAPM&R) and International Society of Clinical Densitometry, contributing to clinical guideline development in her specialty domains.
Based at the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab's 15th Floor facility, she collaborates within Northwestern's integrated rehabilitation research ecosystem, leveraging the institution's leadership in neurorehabilitation science to advance evidence-based clinical protocols for complex bone health conditions.
