A) ablation.
B) constraint-induced movement.
C) localization of function.
D) synaptic potential immobilization.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The approach of immobilizing the good arm to force the impaired arm to become more active is known as constraint-induced movement therapy. This is a form of rehabilitation that aims to increase the rate of neurogenesis in the damaged part of Bobby's brain and speed up his recovery. Ablation refers to the surgical removal or destruction of a part of the brain. Localization of function refers to the idea that specific areas of the brain are responsible for specific functions. Synaptic potential immobilization is not a recognized term or approach in neurorehabilitation.
