Dr. Uswatte’s training is in clinical psychology with specialization in the rehabilitation of neurological disorders. He is Professor of Psychology and Physical Therapy at UAB and Director of the CI Therapy Research Group there. Uswatte, along with Edward Taub, PhD, and Karlene Ball, PhD, directed the development and testing of Constraint-Induced Cognitive Therapy (CICT), which will be the subject of his presentation. Uswatte earned a bachelor’s degree with honors in economics from Princeton University and a doctorate in psychology from UAB. He has developed objective methods for remotely monitoring the effect of rehabilitation treatments on how much patients actually use their impaired extremities at home. In collaboration with Taub, he developed an expanded form of CI Therapy for individuals with plegic hands and a method for delivering CI Therapy on a telerehabilitation basis. Also with Taub, Uswatte discovered that efficacious physical rehabilitation in adults with chronic, post-stroke, upper-extremity hemiparesis results in remodeling of CNS structures that control movement of the more-affected arm. Uswatte’s contributions have been recognized by the Division of Rehabilitation Psychology of the American Psychological Association with the Mitchell Rosenthal Early Career Research Award in 2008, selection to Fellow status in 2011, election to President in 2013, and the Roger Barker Distinguished Research Contribution Award in 2020.
