Abstract

Neuroplasticity in the Context of Motor Rehabilitation in Brain Tumor

Minoo Sharbafshaaer

Brain tumor an estimated 700,000 people in the United States, and over 87,000 more will be predictable in 2020. Multiple techniques can be used intraoperatively to help maximize the extent of resection, including stereotactic neuro-navigation with diffusion tensor–based tractography, intraoperative MRI, fluorescent tumor markers. Exercise and training rehabilitation have long been used to restore motor function after brain tumor surgery. Better training strategies and therapies to enhance the effects of these rehabilitative protocols are currently being developed for postsurgry brain tumor disability. The motor rehabilitation focused on neuroplasticity that associated with brain tumor motor impairment, and the latest experimental interventions being developed to manipulate neuroplasticity to enhance motor rehabilitation.
