| Abstract. | All of us were born with a nervous system that isn’t just capable of change but was designed to change. Harnessing and directing the power of brain plasticity is the focus of most of modern stroke specific rehabilitation but the point is how do we make the most out of this kind of rehabilitation in individuals spheres of functioning and how does neuroplasticity it apply to stroke recovery? The current paper has two primary aims. First this study will investigate the effectiveness of some specific recovery options that promote neuroplasticity on the upper extremity sensorimotor recovery during the subacute phase after a stroke. The second aim of this paper is to explore the effectiveness of mixing and matching recovery options in post stroke rehabilitation training. Finding the appropriate evidence-based recovery options and the correct mix is part science, part intuition and part experience. |
