Neuroplasticity in the context of motor rehabilitation after stroke

Motor impairment is a common symptom of stroke. Several processes, such as innate neuroplasticity, are considered to underlie gains in motor function after stroke. In this article, Dimyan and Cohen provide a review of neuroplasticity associated with poststroke motor impairment and highlight the latest experimental interventions being developed to manipulate neuroplasticity to enhance motor rehabilitation. Approximately one-third of patients with...
