Bruce H. Dobkin is an American Professor emeritus of Neurology at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, medical director of the UCLA Neurologic Rehabilitation and Research Program, and Co-Director of the UCLA Stroke Center. [1] He serves as editor-in-chief of Neurorehabilitation and Neural Repair . [1]
Dobkin studied at Hamilton College and Temple University School of Medicine before completing his residency at the University of California, Los Angeles. specialising in neurology. He currently serves on the board of directors at the American Society of Neurorehabilitation and is a fellow of the American Neurological Association. He is also chairman of the Neural Repair and Rehabilitation section at the American Academy of Neurology and is a managing director of the World Federation of NeuroRehabilitation. He has also been elected a Distinguished Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians, and has given over 100 lectures worldwide. [1]
Dobkin has written several books on neurology and the work of doctors within that field. In 1986 he wrote Brain Matters: Stories of a Neurologist and His Patients which was published by Crown Publishing Group, and in 2003 The Clinical Science of Neurologic Rehabilitation through Oxford University Press. He has also contributed chapters to books by others, including Neurology in Clinical Practice and Stroke: Pathophysiology, Diagnosis, and Management.

Hemiparesis, also called unilateral paresis, is the weakness of one entire side of the body. Hemiplegia, in its most severe form, is the complete paralysis of one entire side of the body. Either hemiparesis or hemiplegia can result from a variety of medical causes, including congenital conditions, trauma, tumors, traumatic brain injury and stroke.
Neurology is the branch of medicine dealing with the diagnosis and treatment of all categories of conditions and disease involving the nervous system, which comprises the brain, the spinal cord and the peripheral nerves. Neurological practice relies heavily on the field of neuroscience, the scientific study of the nervous system.
Apraxia is a motor disorder caused by damage to the brain, which causes difficulty with motor planning to perform tasks or movements. The nature of the damage determines the disorder's severity, and the absence of sensory loss or paralysis helps to explain the level of difficulty. Children may be born with apraxia; its cause is unknown, and symptoms are usually noticed in the early stages of development. Apraxia occurring later in life, known as acquired apraxia, is typically caused by traumatic brain injury, stroke, dementia, Alzheimer's disease, brain tumor, or other neurodegenerative disorders. The multiple types of apraxia are categorized by the specific ability and/or body part affected.
The UCLA School of Medicine is the accredited medical school of the University of California, Los Angeles. Founded in 1951, it is the second medical school in the University of California system after the UCSF School of Medicine. The school was renamed in 2001 in honor of media mogul David Geffen who donated $200 million in unrestricted funds.
Neurorehabilitation is a complex medical process that aims to aid recovery from a nervous system injury and minimize and/or compensate for any functional alterations.
Constraint-induced movement therapy is a form of rehabilitation therapy that improves upper extremity function in stroke and other central nervous system damage patients by increasing the use of their affected upper limb. Due to its high duration of treatment, the therapy has been found to frequently be infeasible when attempts have been made to apply it to clinical situations, and both patients and treating clinicians have reported poor compliance and concerns with patient safety. In the United States, the high duration of the therapy has also made the therapy not able to get reimbursed in most clinical environments.
The Wolfson Neurorehabilitation Centre, also better known simply as The Wolfson, was a specialist neurorehabilitation centre based in Wimbledon, south west London. The services provided at the centre are now provided at St George's Hospital in Tooting and Queen Mary's Hospital in Roehampton.
Neurorehabilitation and Neural Repair is a peer-reviewed medical journal that publishes papers in the fields of rehabilitation and clinical neurology. The editor-in-chief is Randolph J. Nudo, PhD. It was established in 1987 and is currently published by SAGE Publications in association with American Society of Neurorehabilitation.
Professor Leeanne Carey is a world leading Australian neuroscientist in occupational therapy and stroke rehabilitation and recovery research. She is the founding leader of the Neurorehabilitation and Recovery research group in the Stroke division at the Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health in Melbourne, Australia, and currently holds a Future Fellowship awarded by the Australian Research Council (ARC).
Peter G. Levine was an American medical researcher, science educator, and authority on stroke recovery. He published articles on brain plasticity as it relates to stroke, with emphasis on modified constraint induced therapy, cortical reorganization, telerehabilitation, electrical stimulation, electromyography-triggered stimulation, mental practice, cortical plasticity, acquired brain injury, spasticity, sensation recovery, evidence-based practice, outcome measures, and others. His 2013 book Stronger After Stroke is regarded as an authoritative guide for patients and therapists dealing with stroke. The book has received numerous positive reviews, and has been translated into Indonesian, Japanese, and Korean. His seminars throughout the United States were described by one reviewer as "funny, entertaining, engaging, dynamic, well organized, passionate and lighthearted." Levine was a trainer of stroke-specific outcome measures for The Ohio State University; B.R.A.I.N. Lab. He was a researcher and co-director at the Neuromotor Recovery and Rehabilitation Laboratory at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine. Before that, he was a researcher at the Human Performance & Motion Analysis Laboratory, which is the research arm of the Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation.
