چکیده
The brain continually organizes itself from birth, during learning and development and during skill acquisition in adulthood. The brain can recruit adjacent undamaged areas, supplementary and association areas and ipsilateral pathways to varying degrees in response to brain injury. This occurs throughout life but is more evident when injury occurs at an earlier age and is highly variable among patients. Enriched or impoverished environments, sensory inputs and motor skill practice can influence brain plasticity. There appears to be evidence for rehabilitative strategies to be employed for patients with varying degrees of hemiparesis and at different stages of recovery. Recent findings indicate that the stroke patient benefits from physiotherapy however more research is required to identify the ability of specific therapies to influence neuroplasticity and the critical time lines.
