#Repost @nextstep_joel with @get_repost ・・・ Activity-based therapy as defined by Susan J. Harkema PHD and Andrea Behrman PHD, PT, is focused on activity dependent plasticity of the nervous system below the level of injury. Activation of specific neural networks to create specific outcomes such as standing, and walking. Activity based training focuses on activating those same specific networks with activities that focus on building greater neural connections that improve responsiveness of the nervous system and lead to recovery of specific networks as well as fitness and health and wellness benefits. #ABT #Activitybasedtraining #details #notjustactivities
