Neurorehabilitation and spasticity management
After a stroke, brain injury, or spinal cord injury, many patients develop spasticity — muscles that stay tight, stiff, or locked in painful positions. It can make walking, dressing, and even resting difficult. Dr. Bruce Rubin has made treating it a central focus of his career.
Dr. Rubin is a board-certified neurologist who helps patients regain function and comfort after neurological injury and illness. His work in spasticity includes participation in TOWER, a multinational clinical study of escalating doses of incobotulinumtoxinA — a botulinum toxin treatment — for arm and leg spasticity. That research experience translates directly into patient care: treatment plans built around what has actually been shown to work.
He is a Fellow of the American Academy of Neurology (FAAN), a distinction recognizing his contributions to the field.
