Stroke Facts
Stroke is the fifth leading cause of death in the
USA
Stroke kills more than 130,000 Americans each
year

Women Stroke Facts cont.
Yearly in the USA approximately 55,000 more women than men experience stroke
More women die from stroke than breast cancer yearly
After stroke, women have greater disability than men
Increased risk is due to hormone status, pregnancy, & childbirth

Neuroplasticity
Neuro = nervous system (brain & spinal cord)
Plasticity = plastos or moldable
Definition:
Neuroplasticity is involved in motor learning
rehabilitation after stroke
![Page 13: Functional Intervention for Neuroplasticity After a Strokekotaonline.org/events/conference/2017ConferenceHandouts/Gessler.pdf · Functional Intervention for Neuroplasticity After](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022020303/5ae778877f8b9a3d3b8e91c6/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
So What is
Neuroplasticity? Our brain continues to change throughout our life time
The brain has the ability to rewire itself after trauma
Research shows that the brain can generate new neurons
(known as neurogenesis)
![Page 14: Functional Intervention for Neuroplasticity After a Strokekotaonline.org/events/conference/2017ConferenceHandouts/Gessler.pdf · Functional Intervention for Neuroplasticity After](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022020303/5ae778877f8b9a3d3b8e91c6/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Neuroplasticity cont.
Key to changes in Neuroplasticity:
Chemical Signals
Altering it’s Structure
Altering it’s Functional Change
![Page 15: Functional Intervention for Neuroplasticity After a Strokekotaonline.org/events/conference/2017ConferenceHandouts/Gessler.pdf · Functional Intervention for Neuroplasticity After](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022020303/5ae778877f8b9a3d3b8e91c6/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Chemical
Transferring chemical signals between
neurons and triggers actions and reactions.
This represents our Short Term Memory
Change happens very rapidly
![Page 16: Functional Intervention for Neuroplasticity After a Strokekotaonline.org/events/conference/2017ConferenceHandouts/Gessler.pdf · Functional Intervention for Neuroplasticity After](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022020303/5ae778877f8b9a3d3b8e91c6/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Structure
Altering the structure
Brain changes the connections between neurons which takes more time.
Physical changes takes time which represents our Long Term Memory.
![Page 17: Functional Intervention for Neuroplasticity After a Strokekotaonline.org/events/conference/2017ConferenceHandouts/Gessler.pdf · Functional Intervention for Neuroplasticity After](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022020303/5ae778877f8b9a3d3b8e91c6/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Functional Changes
Altering function as you use a brain region it becomes more and more excitable easy to use again.
With learning different networks of brain activity is happening.
The brain shifts how and when they are activated
![Page 18: Functional Intervention for Neuroplasticity After a Strokekotaonline.org/events/conference/2017ConferenceHandouts/Gessler.pdf · Functional Intervention for Neuroplasticity After](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022020303/5ae778877f8b9a3d3b8e91c6/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
What Does Pavlov Have to do
With This? Pavlov used a type of neuroplasticity
Rang a bell = Salivation
For Motor Learning to Occur:
Challenging NEW/novel task
Repetitive Practice
Functional task
Novel environment
![Page 19: Functional Intervention for Neuroplasticity After a Strokekotaonline.org/events/conference/2017ConferenceHandouts/Gessler.pdf · Functional Intervention for Neuroplasticity After](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022020303/5ae778877f8b9a3d3b8e91c6/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Motor Learning
Definition: a relatively permanent change in behavior
due to practice.
Motor learning: a set of processes associated with practice leading to a permanent change in the capacity for skilled action
Acquiring the capacity for skilled action
Learning takes practice and practice
Learning must be performed
Learning produces a change in behavior
![Page 20: Functional Intervention for Neuroplasticity After a Strokekotaonline.org/events/conference/2017ConferenceHandouts/Gessler.pdf · Functional Intervention for Neuroplasticity After](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022020303/5ae778877f8b9a3d3b8e91c6/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Motor Learning
The brain should be focused on task in order for motor
activity and motor learning to occur
The activity must be:
Meaningful to the patient
Challenging
Changed frequently
![Page 21: Functional Intervention for Neuroplasticity After a Strokekotaonline.org/events/conference/2017ConferenceHandouts/Gessler.pdf · Functional Intervention for Neuroplasticity After](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022020303/5ae778877f8b9a3d3b8e91c6/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Motor Learning cont.
Motor Performance is the temporary change in
movement behavior seen during a practice session
Motor Learning is a permanent change in movement
behavior measured after a retention period
Motor Learning is only due to practice
![Page 22: Functional Intervention for Neuroplasticity After a Strokekotaonline.org/events/conference/2017ConferenceHandouts/Gessler.pdf · Functional Intervention for Neuroplasticity After](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022020303/5ae778877f8b9a3d3b8e91c6/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Types of Learning
Declarative Learning
Facts or Knowledge that can be expressed in declarative sentences
Remembering a phone number
Controlled by the cortex
Practice can transform declarative learning to procedural learning
![Page 23: Functional Intervention for Neuroplasticity After a Strokekotaonline.org/events/conference/2017ConferenceHandouts/Gessler.pdf · Functional Intervention for Neuroplasticity After](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022020303/5ae778877f8b9a3d3b8e91c6/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Procedural Learning
Procedural Learning
Occurs without attention or conscious thought
Walking, swimming, riding a bike, dancing
Develops slowly through very high repetition
Expressed through improved performance on a task
Controlled by the cerebellum
Therefore performance is still possible in the absence of
cortex (brain injury, dementia)

Patients may feel more comfortable talking to their OT
The necessary aspects of therapeutic relationship
include: empathy, openness, and sensitivity
