Neuroplasticity is formed on the concept of neuro-rehabilitation of the nervous system. The foundation of stroke rehabilitation observed with constraint-induced movement therapy and mirror therapy are exercises based on the concept of neuroplasticity. With the therapies mentioned above, those who have suffered a stroke are able to make recovery or improvements in some or all motor functions through neuroplasticity. This is due to the fact that the more the stroke patient uses their brain through exercise the stronger it will grow. When the post stroke patient performs repetitive tasks originally involving the use of damaged regions of the brain, it forces the brain and nervous system to adapt and find new ways to execute those movements properly by way of new connections.
