Debate: Should pharmaceutical agents be used in early post-stroke neurorehabilitation? |
||
Capsule: | Pharmacological modulation stands as one of the most promising assets in supporting neurorecovery. There are two strategies to frame pharmacological intervention in brain protection and recovery. Monomodal agents (stimulating only plasticity) may be used at later time points after the onset of lesion because they may potentially induce adverse reactions during the acute period. Multimodal agents (usually biological drugs) are able to modulate endogenous processes supporting acute neuroprotection and long term recovery. Therefore, it is critically important to correctly use these pharmacological assets | ||

Debate: Post-stroke neurorehabilitation: Compensation vs. Restoration |
||
Capsule: | Rehabilitation is a complex process through which disabled persons reach maximal physical, functional, cognitive and psychosocial recovery within the disabilities limits. Should therapeutically induced improvement function reflect acquisition of compensatory strategies or restoration of more normal movement patterns? Restoration involves the reappearance of motor patterns present prior to lesion whereas compensation involves the emergence of new motor strategies | ||
