Original article:
Principles of Neurorehabilitation After Stroke Based on Motor Learning and Brain Plasticity Mechanisms
Why you must read this article:
If you wonder what are the theoretical basis of neurorehabilitation interventions, this is the article for you. Maier et al. clearly outlined 15 motor learning principles, and then took a deep dive on both the neural basis and results from research trials.
Here are the motor learning principles identified:
1. massed practice
2. spaced practice
3. dosage
4. task-specific practice
5. goal-oriented practice
6. variable practice
7. increasing difficulty
8. multisensory stimulation
9. rhythmic cueing
10. explicit feedback/knowledge of results
11. implicit feedback/knowledge of performance
12. modulate effector selection
13. action observation/embodied practice
14. motor imagery
15. social interaction
