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.
