Peter G. Levine (born December 22, 1960) is an American medical researcher and science educator and authority on stroke recovery. His articles have been published extensively in peer-reviewed journals 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, corticalplasticity, acquired brain injury, spasticity, sensation recovery, evidence-based practice, outcome measures, and others.[6][7][8][9][10] His articles have been widely cited by the medical community.[11][10] His 2013 book Stronger After Stroke is regarded as an authoritative guide for patients and therapists dealing with stroke and it has received numerous positive reviews,[12][13][14][1][15][16][17][18] and has been translated into Indonesian and Japanese. His seminars throughout the United States were described by one reviewer as "funny, entertaining, engaging, dynamic, well organized, passionate and lighthearted."[19] He was a researcher and co-director at the Neuromotor Recovery and Rehabilitation Laboratory at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine.[2] Before that, he was a researcher at the Human Performance & Motion Analysis Laboratory, which is the research arm of the Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation. He lives in Wyoming, Ohio.
