The American Stroke Association has written that Taub's therapy is "at the forefront of a revolution" in what is regarded possible in terms of recovery for stroke survivors. [ 1 ] As a result of the patient engaging in repetitive exercises with the affected limb, the brain grows new neural pathways .
A study by Lennon et al. [11] concluded that even under idealized conditions (patients with optimal rehabilitation potential, advanced trained therapists, unlimited therapy input, and a movement analysis laboratory) the Bobath approach had no effect on the quality of gait for patients with a stroke.
Treatments can include, but are not limited to, rehabilitation therapy such as physical or occupational, pharmacological modification of the neurotransmitter function, or medication. [18] The affected parts of the brain can recover some function with the help of different types of therapy, or tractographical psysurgery.
