Abstract

Given the significant impact of stroke, especially as the 5th leading cause of death, there is a need for effective rehabilitation strategies. Neuroplasticity, the brain's ability to form new connections in response to injury, plays a crucial role in recovery following stroke damage. This paper will review current research on stroke rehabilitation methods that promote neuroplasticity to summarize various intervention strategies, including physical therapy and cognitive rehabilitation. In addition, factors that influence the efficacy of these neuroplasticity interventions will be discussed, such as individual variability, timing, and sociocultural and genetic factors.
