Overview

Rebecca Lewthwaite is affiliated with Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center in the United States. Their research spans several interconnected fields including medicine, psychology, and neuroscience, with a particular focus on rehabilitation and motor performance.

The main subfields of their study include cognitive neuroscience, social psychology, developmental and educational psychology, orthopedics and sports medicine, and rehabilitation. Their work covers key topics such as sport psychology and performance, motivation and self-concept in sports, sports performance and training, stroke rehabilitation and recovery, cerebral palsy and movement disorders, balance, gait, and falls prevention, as well as musculoskeletal pain and rehabilitation.

Several of Lewthwaite's recent papers include:

  • Superiority of external attentional focus for motor performance and learning: Systematic reviews and meta-analyses, 2021, Psychological Bulletin
  • Translating Thoughts Into Action: Optimizing Motor Performance and Learning Through Brief Motivational and Attentional Influences, 2021, Current Directions in Psychological Science
  • Essential Role of Social Context and Self-Efficacy in Daily Paretic Arm/Hand Use After Stroke: An Ecological Momentary Assessment Study With Accelerometry, 2022, Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation
  • Choose your words wisely: Optimizing impacts on standardized performance testing, 2020, Gait & Posture
  • A Novel Combination of Accelerometry and Ecological Momentary Assessment for Post-Stroke Paretic Arm/Hand Use: Feasibility and Validity, 2021, Journal of Clinical Medicine

The publication venues where Lewthwaite frequently appears include:

  • Psychological Bulletin
  • Current Directions in Psychological Science
  • Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation
  • Journal of Clinical Medicine
  • Gait & Posture

Frequent co-authors working alongside Lewthwaite are:

  • Gabriele Wulf
  • John Monterosso
  • Carolee J. Winstein
  • Beth E. Fisher
  • Lee-Kuen Chua

The body of work demonstrates a consistent interest in understanding and improving motor learning and rehabilitation outcomes through motivational, attentional, and contextual factors. Studies often integrate objective measures like accelerometry with ecological momentary assessment to capture real-world functional use and recovery patterns, especially relating to stroke and cerebral palsy populations.

Rebecca Lewthwaite's research portfolio reflects a multidisciplinary approach aimed at advancing knowledge in both clinical and performance domains, bridging gaps between psychological theory and physical rehabilitation.
