Randall W. Huzinec, PT

Clinical Director of the SmartTech for Paralysis Hub
University of Pittsburgh Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States

Randy Huzinec began his physical therapy career in 1988 at the Rehabilitation Institute of Pittsburgh in pediatric spinal cord injury and brain injury rehabilitation. When UPMC/CRS acquired the adult rehabilitation services of the Rehabilitation Institute of Pittsburgh, he continued to provide spinal cord injury rehabilitation for adult clientele.
Randy has volunteered on the Academy of Spinal Cord Injury Professional's Clinical Practice Committee since 2012 where he was elected chairperson in 2016.
In 2012, Randy started assisting the ASCIP Therapy Leadership Council (TLC) by directing and arranging a day long series of workshops and seminars before the organization’s annual conference called “Intro to SCI”. This program focused on providing support and education to those early in their spinal cord career or those new to SCI rehabilitation. In 2014 Randy became an active member of the Therapy Leadership Council and in 2017 he was named to the TLC Board.
Randy has contributed to the development of SCI transfer clinical practice guidelines by volunteering to assess and collect data for a University of Pittsburgh Spinal Cord Injury Model Systems research project on a standardized transfer measurement tool. He has given many professional presentations on the upper limb preservation, and other clinical topics.
Randy has a special interest in the use of technology to further SCI rehabilitation goals for patients living with paralysis through accessible computer gaming and virtual reality. He has developed a program at UPMC Mercy to educate patients on the practical use of consumer-based voice activated assistants integrated with smart home controls.
Currently, Randy is the Clinical Director of the SmartTech for Paralysis Hub at the University of Pittsburgh Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation
