Bobby suffered a stroke that damaged his brain, causing partial paralysis in his left arm.In an approach called ______ therapy, his good right arm is immobilized, which forces his impaired left arm to become more active, increasing the rate of neurogenesis in the damaged part of his brain and speeding his recovery.
A)ablation
B)constraint-induced movement
C)localization of function
D)synaptic potential immobilization

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Constraint-induced movement therapy is a type of rehabilitation treatment that involves restricting the use of a healthy limb to promote the use and recovery of an impaired limb. This approach can help to increase the rate of neurogenesis (the growth of new neurons) in the damaged part of the brain and improve overall recovery after a stroke or other brain injury. Ablation refers to the removal of a specific part of the brain and is not relevant in this scenario. Localization of function refers to the idea that specific brain regions are responsible for specific functions, but this concept is not directly related to Bobby's therapy. Synaptic potential immobilization is not a recognized term or approach in neuroscience or rehabilitation.
