Abstract
Purpose of article: To build a comprehensive narrative review that highlights the effects of neuroplasticity in the rehabilitation after a surgical nerve transfer in an acquired peripheral nervous system condition such as traumatic brachial plexus injury. Materials and Methods: The review involves searches of various electronic databases and materials from the year 2008 to 2018, published in English. The key words used were nerve transfers, neuroplasticity, rehabilitation, and traumatic brachial plexus injury. After thorough reviewing the relevant articles were short listed. Results and Conclusion: 16 articles got shortlisted. There is considerable evidence that the brain possesses the ability to recognize and incorporate new information even after a peripheral lesion followed by its surgical reconstruction. Various studies identify the different rehabilitation strategies that could help enhance this virtue of neuroplasticity thereby positively maximizing the outcome.
