Activity Description

Neuroplasticity describes the nervous system’s capacity for adaptive structural and functional change in response to intrinsic and extrinsic stimuli, with major clinical relevance following stroke and traumatic brain injury. This course reviews the mechanisms of neuroplasticity, including neuronal regeneration with synaptic plasticity and collateral sprouting, as well as functional reorganization through processes such as vicariation and diaschisis. Participants will also gain an understanding of how plasticity evolves across acute, subacute, and chronic phases, with outcomes that may be restorative, neutral, or maladaptive, including chronic pain and dysfunctional network reinforcement. This activity also explores rehabilitation timing, task-specific therapy, neuromodulation, and pharmacologic strategies. This activity for healthcare professionals is designed to enhance the learner's competence in identifying neuroplastic mechanisms, critically appraising biomarkers and timing considerations, and applying practical approaches to optimize recovery, minimize maladaptive effects, and integrate interprofessional, evidence-based neurorehabilitation strategies into patient care.


Target Audience

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of physicians, physician associates, nurses, pharmacists, and nurse practitioners.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, the learner will be better able to:

  • Identify key mechanisms of neuroplasticity that correlate with each phase of recovery after neurologic injury.

  • Evaluate risk factors for maladaptive neuroplasticity to guide preventive interventions.

  • Apply evidence-based rehabilitation strategies to optimize functional recovery in patients with neurologic injury.

  • Collaborate with interprofessional team members to improve neurorehabilitation care coordination and outcomes for patients with stroke.
