Translating Neuroplasticity into Practice: Task-Specific and Sensorimotor Interventions for Community Ambulation Post-Stroke

This Research Topic encompasses innovative approaches and recent advances in translating the principles of neuroplasticity into actionable, task-specific, and sensorimotor interventions aimed at improving community ambulation for individuals post-stroke. While the primary emphasis is placed on adult stroke populations, both clinical and translational research will be considered, including studies ranging from underlying neural mechanisms to real-world applications in rehabilitation settings.We welcome submissions addressing, but not limited to, the following themes:- Mechanisms of neuroplasticity in stroke recovery and their implications for ambulation- Development and evaluation of task-specific interventions to enhance gait and mobility- Sensorimotor training techniques targeting lower limb function for community ambulation- Integration of technological solutions (e.g., robotics, virtual reality, wearable sensors) into rehabilitation- Predictors and biomarkers of successful ambulation outcomes- Barriers and facilitators to effective community walking post-stroke- Long-term functional and psychosocial outcomes of neuroplasticity-driven interventions- Interdisciplinary approaches bridging neuroscience, physiotherapy, and community reintegration- Animal studies will not be consideredDr. Alison McKenzie declares a potential competing interest, specifically: a patent concerning upper-extremity telerehabilitation games. Dr. Natalia Sanchez has no potential conflicts of interest.
