Investigating the Potential and Efficiency of Neuroplasticity-based Interventions in Stroke Recovery
Project by Polygence alum Adriana
Project's result
My project has been published in the Research Archive of Rising Scholars, and currently I am preparing it to submit it to highschool research journals.
They started it from zero. Are you ready to level up with us?
Summary
Given the significant impact of stroke, especially as a leading cause of death, there is a need for effective rehabilitation strategies. By reviewing current research, I will examine the different mechanisms of neuroplasticity in stroke rehabilitation, and its efficacy in various intervention strategies, like physical therapy, cognitive rehabilitation, and pharmacological treatments. In addition, a key focus will be identifying factors that influence the efficacy of these neuroplasticity interventions, such as individual variability, timing and duration of interventions, and sociocultural and genetic factors. Also, I would like to possibly develop a comprehensive proposal for a novel, evidence-based intervention to optimize neuroplasticity following stroke damage.
