Why We Must Stop Guessing and Start Reporting Right in Neurorehabilitation
Neurorehabilitation is a cornerstone of recovery for patients with neurological disorders, yet there’s an elephant in the room: most interventions in this field are poorly reported and nearly impossible to…
Desbloqueando la Recuperación: El Hipotálamo Lateral y una Nueva Frontera en la Rehabilitación Post-Lesión Medular Espinal.
La estimulación cerebral profunda (DBS, por sus siglas en inglés) ha sido durante mucho tiempo una promesa para abordar déficits neurológicos, pero su papel en la recuperación motora tras una…
Understanding and Addressing Post-Stroke Hemiplegic Gait—Insights and Innovations
The Complexity of Post-Stroke Walking Walking is a marvel of coordinated neuromuscular control, often taken for granted until it’s disrupted by a stroke. Post-stroke hemiplegic gait—characterized by spasticity, weakness, and…
Brain Plasticity and Neuroplasticity: More “North to South” than “East to West”
Neuroplasticity, the ability of the central nervous system (CNS) to reorganize and adapt after an injury, is not a uniform process. It is critical to understand that this reorganization predominantly…
Why «Rewiring the Brain» is the Wrong Metaphor
Stroke recovery is often described with phrases like «rewiring the brain» or «cortical remapping,» conjuring images of damaged neural circuits being reconfigured to restore lost abilities. While these ideas are…
Why Your Goals Should Be D.U.M.B. (and S.M.A.R.T.)
When it comes to goal-setting, we’ve all been taught to think in acronyms. Most are familiar with S.M.A.R.T. goals: a structured framework designed to keep our ambitions Specific, Measurable, Achievable,…
High-Performance Neurorehabilitation
Introduction to High-Performance Neurorehabilitation In recent years, neurorehabilitation has evolved significantly, with specialized centers adopting high-performance models traditionally used in athletic training. This approach, championed by experts such as Centro…
Spasticity is not the enemy—it’s a call for action
Understanding Spasticity: Navigating the Recovery Pathway After Neurological Injury Neurological injury presents us with one of the most complex challenges in medicine—how does the brain rewire itself after damage, and…
Reactive Balance Training in Neurorehabilitation: Harnessing the Brain’s Adaptive Capacity
https://youtube.com/shorts/IId01TahLE4?feature=share Reactive Balance Training In the complex dance of human movement, balance stands as one of the most fundamental, yet intricate, motor functions. It is governed by a sophisticated interplay…
