The past 20 years have represented an important period in the development of principles
underlying neuroplasticity, especially as they apply to recovery from neurological injury. It is …

Rehabilitation, for a large part may be seen as a learning process where old skills have to
be re-acquired and new ones have to be learned on the basis of practice. Active exercising …

The neuroplastic effects of anterior cruciate ligament injury have recently become more
evident, demonstrating underlying nervous system changes in addition to the expected …

Objective: To assess cortical excitability changes in patients with chronic neuropathic pain at
baseline and after repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) of the motor cortex …

Objective To investigate the effect of action observation therapy (AOT) in the rehabilitation of
neurologic and musculoskeletal conditions. Data Sources Searches were completed until …

Most therapies under development to restore motor function after spinal cord injury (SCI)
assume intact brain motor functions. To examine this assumption, 12 patients with chronic …

We tested the hypothesis that the nervous system, and the cortex in particular, is a critical
determinant of muscle strength/weakness and that a high level of corticospinal inhibition is …

OBJECTIVE: The diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) may rely on stringent
clinical criteria, resulting in diagnostic delay and inevitable the institution of appropriate …

For consciously performed motor tasks executed in a defined and constant way, both motor
imagery (MI) and action observation (AO) have been shown to promote motor learning. It is …

We used two complementary methods to investigate cortical reorganization in chronic stroke
patients during treatment with a defined motor rehabilitation program. BOLD (“blood …
