 Welcome to the ASNR web site! Whether you are a member of the ASNR or a visitor to our web site I hope that we meet your needs.
A few words about the ASNR. The society was formed in 1990 by a group of neurologists with a common interest to promote the rehabilitation of patients with neurological disorders, and foster research in neurorehabilitation. Since then, the organization has become a multidisciplinary society open to all healthcare professionals with an interest in neurorehabilitation. The ASNR holds an annual scientific and educational meeting in association with the American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine, and is the owner of one of the most prominent scientific journals in neurorehabilitation (Neurorehabilitation and Neural Repair). The society serves as a source of information for professionals and patients interested in rehabilitation of neurological disorders, and serves as an advocate for persons with neurological disabilities at the regional and national levels. The ASNR also sponsors an annual workshop for medical professionals in neurorehabilitation.
This is an exciting time for neurorehabilitation research. Knowledge about aspects of functional recovery following neurological illness and injury is rapidly expanding. In addition, advances in neuroimaging, cellular and molecular biology, genetics, and neuropharmacology hold the promise of providing additional insight into mechanisms of recovery. Some of this new knowledge is already being translated into new treatment approaches for persons with neurological disorders. The ASNR plays a role in fostering neurorehabilitation research by providing a forum through our annual meeting, disseminating research results through Neurorehabilitation and Neural Repair, encouraging members to actively participate in rehabilitation research, and providing information about the selected research on our web site.
Again, welcome to the ASNR web site. We hope that you share our enthusiasm for the future of neurorehabilitation. We strive to meet the goals established in our mission statement listed below. If you have any questions about the ASNR, its mission, or its web site please feel free to contact me, or our executive office at asnr@llmsi.com.
Sincerely,
David C. Good, MD
President
