This is an excellent review of principles of neuroplasticity taking into account the specific elements of experience required to promote change. By understanding the basic principles of neural plasticity which govern learning in both the intact and damaged brain, identification of the critical behavioural and neurobiological signals that drive recovery can begin. Nine principles of experience-dependent plasticity were identified, namely: use it or lose it : use it and improve it : specificity : repetition : intensity : time : salience : age and transference.
Bobath Concept: Theory and Clinical Practice in Neurological Rehabilitation
Authored by members of the British Bobath Tutors Association, Bobath Concept: Theory and Clinical Practice in Neurological Rehabilitation is a practical illustrated guide that offers a detailed exploration of the theoretical underpinning and clinical interventions of the Bobath Concept.
This book guides the reader through general principles to more specific application of neurophysiological principles and movement re-education in the recovery of important areas, including moving between sitting and standing, locomotion and recovery of upper limb function.
