Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT)
Goals: To improve function in extremities impacted by stroke or CNS injury. Methods: Involve restricting use of the unaffected limb to encourage use of the affected limb.
Errorless Learning
Goals: To enhance memory performance in people with amnesia. Methods: Provide tasks that minimize the chance of mistakes and reduce frustration while learning new information.
Cognitive Rehabilitation Therapy (CRT)
Goals: To improve cognitive deficits post-brain injury. Methods: Structured tasks to practice and improve cognitive functions such as attention, memory, and executive functions.
Mirror Therapy
Goals: To reduce phantom limb pain or rehabilitate after a stroke. Methods: Use of a mirror to reflect the unaffected limb, creating the illusion of movement in the affected limb.
Task-Oriented Approach
Goals: To improve motor function through real-world tasks. Methods: Repeated practice of tasks and activities that the patient finds meaningful.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Brain Injury
Goals: To address emotional and behavioral challenges. Methods: Identify and modify negative thought patterns and behaviors through structured therapy sessions.
Computer-Assisted Cognitive Rehabilitation
Goals: To enhance various cognitive functions using technology. Methods: Customizable software programs to train and improve attention, memory, problem-solving, and other cognitive abilities.
Virtual Reality Rehabilitation
Goals: To provide immersive rehabilitation experiences. Methods: Use of VR to simulate real-life scenarios for cognitive and motor rehabilitation in a controlled environment.
Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS)
Goals: To modulate neuronal activity. Methods: Delivering a low electrical current to targeted areas of the brain to potentially enhance or diminish neuronal activity.
Motor Imagery
Goals: To improve motor function and motor learning. Methods: Visualization and mental rehearsal of movements to activate the same neural circuits involved in the actual movement.
Biofeedback Therapy
Goals: To increase awareness and control over physiological functions. Methods: Real-time feedback on brain or body activity to teach self-regulation skills.
Hippotherapy
Goals: To improve neuromuscular function. Methods: Utilizing the movement of a horse to engage sensory, motor and cognitive systems during therapy.
