P 68 Novel control concepts and motor re-learning strategy in neurorehabilitation – practically-oriented approach

Persons suffering from functional impairment, due to cerebral palsy, stroke, or Parkinson ’s, often have not reached their full potential for recovery which often is a reason for injures and loss of life due to fall. Motor skill learning and retention of motor skills can be enhanced if a patient assumes control over practice conditions, e.g. timing of exercise instructions and feedback . In our study, we follow a novel conceptual framework (Despotova and Kiriazov, 2015) for optimal control learning of goal-directed motion tasks, like reaching, standing up and walking.
