UNDERSTANDING NEUROPLASTICITY
IN STROKE REHABILITATION
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT OPTIONS
Developmental Plasticity ANSW✅✅During lifespan. Neural adjustments in response to new
situations.
Adaptive Plasticity ANSW✅✅Compensation for loss from injury or disease. Sprouting, rerouting
occurs
Denervation Hypersensitivity ANSW✅✅New receptor sites develop after neurotransmitter loss.
Silent Synapses ANSW✅✅Inactive synapses that can become functional.
Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) ANSW✅✅Protein promoting neuron survival and
growth.
Exercise Guidelines ANSW✅✅30 minutes, 70% heart rate, 4 days/week, a combination of aerobic
and resistance training
Environmental Stimulation ANSW✅✅External factors influencing neuroplastic changes.
Enriched items/surrounding/peers
Skill and Motor Learning are essential for: ANSW✅✅adaptive neuroplasticity
Interventions that promote adaptive neuroplasticity include: ANSW✅✅Functional task
MCIMT
SOME robot assisted therapies
repetitive task training
circuit training
