Stroke is the leading cause of adult disability in the western world. Consensus has built over the last few years regarding the usefulness of training to improve motor disability resulting from stroke. Until recently, there were no accepted strategies to enhance the beneficial effects of training. However, the combination of basic and clinical science data over the last few years is changing this picture, and is highly relevant to the field of neurorehabilitation. Human studies in both healthy individuals and patients after brain damage demonstrate as a proof of principle that somatosensory input, cortical stimulation, interhemispheric interactions, and pharmacologic interventions can modulate cortical plasticity in neurorehabilitation after stroke. These findings strongly suggest directions in the development of novel strategies to enhance training effects on motor recovery. The intent of this review is to describe these strategies, the basic science principles on which they are based, and the clinical applications that have emerged so far.
