障がいがあるアスリートにみる神経可塑性

抄録

Use-dependent and impairment-specific brain plasticity is hypothesized to interact and enhance neural reorganization in the central nervous system (CNS) of athletes with physical impairments. Studies on Paralympians’ brains are helpful in achieving a fundamental understanding of the underlying neural mechanism related to CNS reorganization after physical therapy or athletic training. Information learned from these individuals also provides new insights into sports- and rehabilitation-related neuroscience.
