Stroke Rehabilitation: Insights from Neuroscience and Imaging
informs and challenges neurologists, rehabilitation therapists,
imagers, and stroke specialists to adopt more restorative and
scientific approaches to stroke rehabilitation based on new
evidence from neuroscience and neuroimaging literatures. The fields
of cognitive neuroscience and neuroimaging are advancing rapidly
and providing new insights into human behavior and learning.
Similarly, improved knowledge of how the brain processes
information after injury and recovers over time is providing new
perspectives on what can be achieved through rehabilitation.
Stroke Rehabilitation explores the potential to shape and maximize
neural plastic changes in the brain after stroke from a multimodal
perspective. Active skill based learning is identified as a central
element of a restorative approach to rehabilitation. The evidence
behind core learning principles as well as specific learning
strategies that have been applied to retrain lost functions of
movement, sensation, cognition and language are also discussed.
Current interventions are evaluated relative to this knowledge base
and examples are given of how active learning principles have been
successfully applied in specific interventions. The benefits and
evidence behind enriched environments is reviewed with examples of
potential application in stroke rehabilitation. The capacity of
adjunctive therapies, such as transcranial magnetic stimulation, to
modulate receptivity of the damaged brain to benefit from
behavioral interventions is also discussed in the context of this
multimodal approach. Focusing on new insights from neuroscience and
imaging, the book explores the potential to tailor interventions to
the individual based on viable brain networks.
This book is intended for clinicians, rehabilitation specialists
and neurologists who are interested in using these new discoveries
to achieve more optimal outcomes. Equally as important, it is
intended for neuroscientists, clinical researchers, and imaging
specialists to help frame important clinical questions and to
better understand the context in which their discoveries may be
used.
