EPISODE TITLE: Perspectives on Neuroplasticity Part 1
INTRO: This episode is a conversation between two OTRs and two soon-to-be new grad OTs. The topic of conversation is neuroplasticity, but this discussion dives deep into more specific topics on stroke rehabilitation.
EPISODE SUMMARY: In this episode of NOGGINS & NEURONS: Brain Injury Recovery Simplified, Perspectives on Neuroplasticity Part 1 with Tracy Bentley Root, Morgan Wellenzohn, and Sarah DiMayo, we talked about:
- What is neuroplasticity?
- What does the phrase “practice makes progress” mean to each of us?
- What happens in the brain when changes occur? Building bridges!!
- Visual feedback and imagery
Neuroplasticity is a never ending phenomenon that has many avenues to explore. In a therapeutic mindset, one of the most important lessons to learn when recovering from a stroke is that practice makes progress! There are so many different ways to treat an injury resulting from a stroke including different therapeutic techniques and evidence-based practice. Tune into the second part of this podcast with Tracy, Sarah, and Morgan to learn about more evidence-based practice and techniques that have been experienced and researched.
