Neurorehabilitation is important for neural plasticity and functional recovery after neurological disease, drawing from rehabilitation medicine, neuroscience, and neurophysiology. This special issue examines how neurorehabilitation can lead to neural plasticity and functional recovery. The articles cover neurorehabilitation for stroke, spinal cord injury, and other neurological issues.
Wearable EMG-controlled NMES can improve arm and hand function, especially after a stroke.
Therapeutic exercise can be used to induce beneficial changes in skeletal muscle and the motor cortex after spinal cord injury.
Neuroimaging techniques can help identify cortical reorganization following various neurological conditions, including spinal cord injury and facial nerve palsy.
