About this conference
Following an injury or motor impairment, patients must undergo rehabilitation, which can be long and/or arduous depending on the nature and extent of the injury, but also on the patient’s motor learning abilities.
Despite improvements in therapeutic approaches, learning abilities are unique to each individual and can facilitate or slow recovery. Can these abilities be enhanced by specific therapeutic interventions?
Professor Jason Neva’s work aims to gain a better understanding of the neural mechanisms that support motor learning, in order to develop interventions to increase neuroplasticity and improve patients’ motor recovery.
