In Memoriam: Professor Richard B. Stein (1940-2020) harnessing insights from the neurophysiology of motor control-from bench to bedside.

The role of afferent feedback and central motor drive in muscle activation has a profound impact on our understanding of movement control in health and disease. Dr. Richard B. Stein was a pioneer who made major contributions to the field. In addition to fundamental discoveries using animal models, he translated this to the clinic to benefit patients with spinal cord and other neurological injuries. Along the way, he inspired a generation of scientists around the world.
