Neuroplasticity in spinal cord injury: Physiotherapy approaches to functional recovery
Journal Title: BOHR International Journal of Neurology and Neuroscience - Year 2025, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Spinal cord injury (SCI) prompts huge disabilities because of the interruption of brain connections between the brain and spinal cord. Brain adaptability, the mind’s and spinal cord’s capacity to redesign and frame new brain associations, offers a promising instrument for practical recuperation after SCI. This survey investigates the job of brain adaptability in SCI restoration and looks at different physiotherapy approaches intended to advance recuperation. Key procedures incorporate early activation, movement-based treatments, mechanically helped recovery, tangible engine coordination preparing, and neurophysiological methods, for example, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). Additionally, emerging treatments like spinal cord stimulation and pharmacological interventions are discussed as potential adjuncts to rehabilitation. Despite the potential for neuroplasticity to facilitate recovery, challenges remain in optimizing therapeutic outcomes due to factors such as the injury’s severity and timing of interventions.
