| Description: |
Neurorehabilitation is the primary therapy for neurological impairment in children, yet its potential to achieve change remains incompletely understood and probably underestimated. Understanding ‘the difference neurorehabilitation can make’ against a background of neurological repair and recovery as well as ongoing neurological development is an enormous challenge, exacerbated to no small extent by the lack of a ‘common currency’ for the description and measurement of the neurorehabilitation services a child is receiving. This review addresses attempts to parse neurorehabilitation treatment content in theoretically and mechanistically valid ways that might help address this challenge. |
