Adaptability and Flexibility of the Human Motor System:Implications for Neurological Rehabilitation
[摘要] This article stresses the plasticity of theadult sensorimotor cortex in response tovarious injuries or environmental changes. Thedominant role of sensory input is discussed. Anumber of studies are presented that show howinput may lead to learning and change. Learningis discussed in relation to recovery. It is shownhow concepts from the field of motor controland learning may be used for improving neurologicalrehabilitation. Specific attention is givento the variability of input, the meaningfulnessof input, and the role of the learning context.The learning context and the applicationcontext should have essential characteristics incommon, otherwise transfer of learning will benon-optimal. It is argued that learning landscapesare necessary in order to treat patientsin such a way that he learned skills aretransferable to situations outside the hospital.
