About this Research Topic
This Research Topic delves into the area of neurorehabilitation, focusing on the potential of neuromodulation techniques to enhance motor recovery and promote brain plasticity in individuals with neurological impairments. Current rehabilitation approaches often yield limited outcomes, necessitating exploration of alternative strategies to optimize motor function restoration. Neuromodulation techniques, such as Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and Transcranial Electric Stimulation (TES), offer promising avenues by directly influencing neural activity in specific brain regions. By understanding the interplay between neuroplasticity, motor recovery, and neuromodulation, we can advance the field of neurorehabilitation and design more effective interventions.
The primary goal of this Research Topic is to address the limitations of conventional rehabilitation methods by investigating the role of neuromodulation techniques in facilitating motor recovery and brain plasticity. We aim to explore the potential of an integrative approach that combines neuromodulation with other complementary interventions, such as virtual reality, robotics, or cognitive training. By synergistically engaging multiple aspects of motor function and cognition, we hope to optimize neuroplastic changes and improve functional outcomes in individuals with neurological impairments.
Contributors to this Research Topic are invited to explore various themes, including but not limited to:
• Novel neuromodulation techniques and their effects on motor recovery
• Integrative approaches combining neuromodulation with other rehabilitation interventions
• Neuroplasticity mechanisms underlying motor recovery and their modulation through neuromodulation
• Mapping brain changes associated with motor recovery using neuroimaging techniques
• Personalized approaches to neurorehabilitation incorporating neuromodulation
• Patient experiences, perceptions, and satisfaction with integrative neurorehabilitation approaches
We welcome Original Research, Review, and Perspective articles that contribute to advancing our understanding of the role of neuromodulation in motor recovery and brain plasticity. The manuscripts should present compelling evidence, innovative methodologies, and insightful perspectives to shed light on this rapidly evolving field and guide future research and clinical practice in neurorehabilitation.
