This document discusses approaches to rehabilitating the hand function of children with hemiparesis. It notes that children naturally learn to use their unaffected side more for tasks. Factors affecting hand use include sensory issues, slow movements, weak grip, and spasticity over time. Early intervention should use a family-centered, functional approach with evidence-based protocols. Emerging therapies focus on task-oriented and bimanual training using games and virtual reality. While modified constraint-induced movement therapy and bimanual intensive therapy show improvements, studies note limited generalization and need for review of protocols. A combined approach may be most effective.
This document calls for international collaboration to develop a mobile application (mICF) based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) framework to improve continuity of care and strengthen health systems. It discusses how the mICF could incorporate ICF-related information to provide a holistic overview of patients and allow information sharing between providers. An international group of 25 partners is sought to provide feedback and analyze data to help define and develop the mICF project.
The ICF has potential to improve communication and collaboration (through its universal concepts and language) among health professionals working within multidisciplinary teams in research and practice to impact health outcomes for patients. Thus, it is timely for clinicians and trainees working in health-related fields to incorporate its framework into practice and research. It is hoped that professional programs will model our approach to develop similar courses within their professional curriculum to build capacity for application of the ICF. Education and training through a combination of peer support and mentorship for health professionals in the use of the ICF could assist with facilitating its uptake.
International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF):An ...Stefanus Snyman
The document discusses using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) framework to guide interprofessional education and practice. A study was conducted where fourth-year health professions students applied the ICF framework in clinical case presentations which were then assessed by local interprofessional healthcare teams. Both students and health professionals reported improved interprofessional collaboration, patient-centered care, and patient outcomes as a result. The ICF framework also facilitated institutional and instructional reforms toward more holistic, bio-psycho-social approaches and strengthened health systems overall.
The document discusses brain plasticity, which refers to the brain's ability to change and adapt as a result of experience. It was previously believed that the brain's structure was fixed by adulthood, but research now shows the brain continues creating new neural pathways and altering existing ones. The document outlines the history of research on brain plasticity, how it works through processes like neurogenesis and synaptic pruning, and its types like functional and structural plasticity.
- Long-term potentiation (LTP) is a long-lasting strengthening of synapses based on timing of neural activity. It is believed to be the cellular mechanism underlying learning and memory. LTP occurs when presynaptic activation repeatedly followed by postsynaptic spiking. This coincident activity causes calcium influx and initiates changes that strengthen synaptic connections. [END SUMMARY]
1. Neurodevelopment involves the formation of neurons, their selection and migration to the proper areas of the brain, and the growth of synapses between neurons.
2. In adulthood, neurogenesis continues in two small areas of the brain. Synapses can also be lost through stress, aging or disease but can be restored through learning, exercise, therapies and treatments.
3. During development, neurons are formed, selected and migrate to their proper locations. Defects can occur during these processes and lead to neurological or psychiatric conditions. Synaptogenesis and pruning further shape the brain through adolescence.
This document discusses neuroplasticity and brain recovery after stroke. It explains that strokes interrupt blood flow to the brain, damaging neurons. While some neurons die immediately, others may survive in the penumbra region with reduced blood flow. The brain has mechanisms for recovery, including remapping of neural connections to compensate for lost functions. Recovery is best facilitated by early rehabilitation that takes advantage of increased neuroplasticity shortly after the stroke. Stem cell therapies also show promise for replacing lost neurons but have safety challenges.

Neuroplasticity: The Brain That Changes ItselfS'eclairer
The document discusses neuroplasticity and how the brain can change itself through experiences like stress, beliefs, environment, and activities. It provides examples of research that shows how thinking patterns can impact health conditions like heart disease, how environments and experiences can influence gene expression, and how cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness can help rewire the brain and reduce symptoms of obsessive compulsive disorder.
The document discusses neuroplasticity, which is the brain's ability to change its structure and function based on environment. It notes that neuroplasticity exists at all levels of the brain and can be seen through examples like blindness, love, depression, surgery, sexuality, and environment. The key points are that the brain is always changing and creating new paths through neuroplasticity, and we need to regularly exercise our skills to maintain them, as the brain can reconstruct itself through "use it or lose it" neuroplasticity.
Brain plasticity refers to the brain's ability to change and form new connections through learning. Engaging in mentally stimulating activities like learning a new skill, taking challenging classes, or playing music can improve brain plasticity. Real-life examples show how activities like learning directions or an instrument can physically change the brain's structure. While positive plasticity occurs through learning, negative plasticity can happen from habits like inactivity, disengagement, or negative learning patterns. The document recommends choosing novel, engaging, rewarding, and meaningful activities to improve brain plasticity and protect cognitive abilities.
1. The document discusses neuroplasticity, which is the brain's ability to reorganize and form new neural pathways in response to new information or injury.
2. It describes the basic structures of neurons and glial cells that make up brain tissue and allow for neuroplasticity.
3. The document provides an overview of the anatomy of the brain and its various regions that work together through neuroplasticity.

The document discusses the rationale for reforming health professions education and systems for health using an ICF framework. It argues this could ultimately result in personalized, predictive healthcare through the use of big data and patient-driven data obtained by utilizing an ICF paradigm. This reform seeks to move towards community-based, holistic care with shared decision-making and reduce institutionalized silos. It is dependent on technology and utilizing the ICF framework could contribute to reaching health equity goals by strengthening systems for universal healthcare coverage.
The brain undergoes significant development and changes throughout life. In early childhood, the brain rapidly forms new connections, with trillions of synapses forming by age 3. During childhood, synaptic pruning occurs, removing unused connections. Experience and environment influence which connections are strengthened and retained. Early childhood experiences are particularly important for brain development. Brain plasticity allows the brain to adapt and recover from injury through mechanisms like remapping of functions. Early intervention programs provide therapeutic support and aim to maximize development for children with disabilities or delays.
