Neuroplasticity is the brain’s ability to learn, change, and adapt by reorganizing and forming new connections. After a stroke, brain injury, or other neurological condition, neuroplasticity helps the brain form new pathways that can support the recovery of lost skills.
Rehabilitation uses therapeutic activities to encourage neuroplasticity and improve movement, coordination, cognition, and communication. Repetition of task-specific activities helps the brain strengthen connections needed for everyday functions, while continued practice and engagement can support ongoing recovery and independence.

Hot temperatures can increase the risk of dehydration, which occurs when the body loses more fluids than it takes in, disrupting the body’s natural balance of fluids and electrolytes. While dehydration can be caused by lack of fluid intake or excessive sweating, it also can be triggered by excessive vomiting, diarrhea, or fever. It can affect anyone, but older adults and people with certain medical conditions may be at greater risk.

Mild dehydration often includes symptoms such as dry mouth, increased thirst, headache, infrequent urination, and dark-colored urine. Typically, mild dehydration can be managed by drinking water or beverages with electrolytes. Severe dehydration requires immediate medical attention and may include symptoms such as confusion, dizziness, sunken eyes, rapid heart rate, and lack of sweating or urination.

To help stay hydrated, drink fluids regularly throughout the day, even when you don’t feel thirsty. Eat water-rich foods like fruits and vegetables, and limit your alcohol consumption, which can contribute to dehydration. As a good rule of thumb, keep a bottle of water nearby to sip from throughout the day.

Returning to meaningful activities is an important part of recovery after a spinal cord injury.
Whether it's spending time with family, pursuing hobbies, participating in adaptive sports, volunteering, or returning to work, staying engaged in activities that provide purpose can support overall well-being and quality of life.
Occupational therapy can help support this transition by modifying tasks, recommending adaptive equipment, and developing individualized strategies to promote independence. Therapists work with each patient on their specific goals to adapt activities and environments so they can participate more fully in daily life. Therapists also can teach energy conservation techniques to help individuals prioritize activities and manage fatigue.

Skin health is an important part of living with a spinal cord injury that requires daily attention.
Changes in sensation can make it difficult to notice pressure, irritation, or injury. Reduced mobility also can lead to prolonged pressure on certain areas of the body, which decreases blood flow and increases the risk of skin breakdown. Without proper prevention, pressure injuries can develop and lead to serious complications.
To help protect your skin:
• Keep your skin dry clean and dry
• Perform daily skin checks
• Change positions regularly as recommended by your healthcare provider
• Protect any bony areas with pillows or cushions
• Maintain good nutrition and hydration
• Report any redness or skin changes to your healthcare provider
