CORTICOSPINAL TRACTS AFTER HEMISPHERECTOMY, GAIT TRAINING, AND CIMT V. HAND ARM BIMANUAL TRAINING

Dr. Stella de Bode, Chief Science Officer and Director of Research and Rehabilitation for The Brain Recovery Project, discusses cortical plasticity after hemispherectomy surgery, including implications of severing the corticospinal tract, intensive gait therapy, and constraint-induced v. bimanual hand therapy.
