Document Summary
The goal of rehabilitation is to foster & guide natural recovery processes; to decrease the development of maladaptive patterns; & to implement physical, pharmacological, cognitive, & behavioral interventions that will increase the rate & Sohlberg & mateer, 2001 level of functional recovery.

Brain injury is not only due to specific cause of injury but includes subsequent cascade of cellular events that follow: stroke lack of blood (ischemia, sec-mins: ionic changes (increase of calcium to toxic levels in cells) Diaschisis 3 causes: can occur in cortex after subcortical lesions. In homologous areas of contralesional hemisphere via colossal connections. In distant areas within the same hemisphere through long-range cortical connections. Treatment for cerebral injury can be directed at diff targets in post-injury cascade: e. g. , drugs to block calcium channels or prevent ionic imbalance; anti- inflammatories, neuroprotectants.
