Abstract
I discuss novel dynamics in brain injury medicine that will shape the field of physical medicine and rehabilitation over the next several years. I review the lessons from previous clinical trials and discuss how rapid biotechnologic changes will influence the lives of people with disabilities. This lecture focuses on prior paradigms and addresses lessons learned, novel strategies for reinvention (including person-specific therapies), conventional therapy programs, biomaterials and devices, cellular-based therapies, and potential therapeutic interventions.
