Background: Neuroplasticity-based rehabilitation has emerged as a breakthrough in neurological rehabilitation, based on the principle that through well-directed physiotherapy interventions, the brain has the inherent capacity to reorganize and adapt. Physiotherapy techniques are being redefined to improve motor functions, bearings, and schizophrenia. However, the effectiveness and contextualization of these interventions remain underexplored.
Objective: To assess the effects on neuroplasticity & neurological rehabilitation of advanced physiotherapy techniques; We explore knowledge, perceived effectiveness, barriers to implementation, and patient recovery outcomes of different physiotherapy methods.
Methodology: A structured survey was administered to physiotherapists, neurologists, rehabilitation specialists, and physiotherapy recipients. Responses намber227 were analyzed using statistical techniques, providing a better perspective on key trends and relationships there. Some of the therapies analyzed include Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT) Virtual Reality Therapy, Mirror Therapy, Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES), and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS).
Results: Results showed that the majority of the participants rated (CIMT), Virtual Reality Therapy (VRT), and Mirror Therapy (MirT) as highly efficient in stroke rehabilitation and motor recovery. However, important barriers like high equipment prices, low availability of trained personnel, and lack of knowledge were reported to hinder its implementation. Although 70% of respondents noted significant improvements in motor function at 3-6 months, the variation in individual response indicates the need for further research to individualize interventions.
Conclusion: This study article highlights the importance of further investigating neuroplasticity-based rehabilitation, including artificial intelligence and robotics, to train and acknowledge healthcare professionals. These innovative
physiotherapy techniques will be beneficial if the financial and accessibility barriers are addressed. These approaches may
offer an exciting therapeutic avenue; substantial research remains to optimize these treatments across varying patient populations
