Faculty
Judith Deutsch‚ PT ‚ PhD
 Dr.
Deutsch received a BA degree in Human Biology from Stanford University
in 1982‚ an MS in Physical Therapy from the University of Southern
California in 1985 and a PhD in Pathokinesiology from New York University
in 1994 as a NIDRR Fellow. She completed a NIH post–doctoral
fellowship in Advanced Rehabilitation Research at Kessler Institute
in 1996. She is an associate professor at UMDNJ and has previously
held academic appointments at NYU and Columbia. She is the Ombudsperson
for Research at UMDNJ–SHRP and the Editor of Neurology
Report. She is a member of the functional neuroimaging laboratory
at UMDNJ–NJMS.
Her research interests are in motor learning and control. Currently
her research is in three areas: 1) The use of Virtual Reality in
Rehabilitation of Patients with Neurologic and Orthopedic conditions
that interfere with lower extremity function and gait. This work
is in collaboration with Dr.
Grigore Burdea at Rutger’s University. 2) The effects of
mental practice on motor skill acquisition in healthy subjects and
individuals post–stroke. This research is done using behavioral
measures and functional brain imaging. 3) Complementary Therapies:
The application of Structural Integration (Rolfing) and Therapeutic
Touch to different patient populations. This research is done using
a combination of retrospective and prospective chart reviews and
randomized clinical trials.
She is currently the PI on an NSF grant to study: Post–Stroke
Mobility Rehabilitation Using at–Home Using VR–Based Dual
Haptic Platforms"
Her areas of teaching are management of the adult with neurologic
diagnoses‚ applied statistics‚ scientific inquiry‚
measurement of human movement‚ neuroplasticity and complementary
therapies.
