How recovery works

Task-specific practice with enough repetition beats any single 'named' method.

Watching the mirrored strong hand move can help activate the brain's control of the weaker hand.

Amount of the right practice matters - more focused repetition tends to help recovery.

Motor imagery activates similar brain areas and can complement physical practice.

Observing actions engages motor networks and can support relearning movements.

Using both hands together on real tasks can help functional arm recovery.

By limiting the strong arm, CIMT drives intensive practice with the weaker arm.

FES can activate weak muscles (e.g. for foot drop) to support movement and practice.

Well-chosen games turn the repetition rehab needs into something people actually want to keep doing.
