A Systematic Review of Brain Plasticity in Patients with Spinal Cord Injuries
Author(s): Calderens Corallo*
Spinal Cord Injuries (SCI) often result in devastating and long-lasting consequences, impacting not only motor functions but also sensory and
autonomic functions. Traditionally, the focus of rehabilitation has been on the spinal cord itself and its potential for recovery. However, emerging
research suggests that the brain also plays a crucial role in the recovery process through mechanisms known as brain plasticity. This systematic
review aims to comprehensively analyze existing literature on brain plasticity in patients with spinal cord injuries, exploring the underlying
mechanisms, its implications for recovery, and potential therapeutic interventions. Through a meticulous search of databases and screening
processes, relevant studies were identified and critically analyzed. The review sheds light on the multifaceted nature of brain plasticity in SCI
