In majority of long term disorders e.g. Cerberal palsy there is chance of functional recovery based on level of lesion and this is due to neuro plasticity , neuroplasticity basically refers to the ability of the brain to rewire or reorganize itself after injury. Various studies over the past decade have shown that the adult/child brain can "rewire" itself when damaged. Studies have also shown that the brain can create new neurons, a phenomenon called neurogenesis. These new neurons require support from neighboring cells, blood supply, and connection with other neurons to survive.

Rehabilitation involving neuroplasticity principles requires consistent repetition of task and task specific therapy to be effective for better function.What this means is that going to see your therapist for a one hour visit (or even a 3 hour visit) is not enough to lead to neuroplastic changes in the brain. It's up to the patient to make the most of recovery by continuously using the injured parts of the body and mind outside of therapy sessions in everyday life.
