10 Principles of 
Neuroplasticity
 
NEUROPLASTICITY
 is the ability to 
heal
 and
change the brain
.  It helps 
re-learn
 skills after
a brain injury or stroke.
 
There are 10 principles
 of neuroplasticity we
use in 
brain rehabilitation
 therapy.

1. USE IT OR LOSE IT
The 
brain
 has 
many
 neural 
connections 
of 
brain cells
.
Thoughts
 and 
actions
 use 
different connections
 in the brain.
Brain connections 
only
 stay 
strong
 
if
 they’re
 used
.
If you 
don’t use
 them, they
 weaken
 and 
fade
 over time.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
2. USE IT AND IMPROVE IT
Practice
 makes 
brain connections stronger.
Practice
 to 
keep brain strong

Neuroplasticity
 
 
3. SPECIFICITY
Brain cells
 perform 
specific actions
 and skills.
Therapy 
exercises target 
specific brain cells
 and specific parts
of the brain. Therapists use 
exercises
 that 
help specific parts 
of
the 
brain.
 
4. SALIENCE
Exercises should be 
meaningful 
to you.
Research shows that 
motivation helps 
the
 brain heal
.
If you don't like
 the rehab program, 
ask the therapist
 for a
different exercise
.

Neuroplasticity
 
5. TRANSFERENCE
Skills
 used in one situation 
can transfer
 to another situation.
In 
therapy
 we 
practice skills to use in life
 outside therapy.
 
 
 
6. INTERFERENCE
Practicing one skill
 can 
make other skills weak
Therapists
 know
how to 
manage
 this.

10 Principles of 
Neuroplasticity
 
7. TIME
Brain recovery has 
faster and slower periods
 of 
healing
.
It is 
normal
 to see 
different speeds
 or paces of healing.
 
8. AGE
The brain learns more when young.
Adults can
 also 
learn and re-learn
 things.

10 Principles of 
Neuroplasticity
 
 
9. REPETITION
Practice practice practice
! Train the brain often like you
would train muscles. Repeat, 
consistent
 practice is
 important
.
 
 
 
10. INTENSITY
Intensity is 
how hard
 you are working. Intensity may be:
 
-
number of times
 you do an exercise
 
-
how long
 you do the exercise
 
-
how difficult
 the exercise is
Changing intensity can keep homework interesting.

 les
compétences après une lésion cérébrale ou
un AVC.
 
Il y a 
10 principes
 de neuroplasticité qu'on utilise dans
la thérapie de 
réhabilitation du cerveau
.
 
1. UTILISER OU PERDRE
Le 
cerveau
 a de 
nombreuses connexions
 neuronales de 
cellules
cérébrales
. Les 
pensées
 et les
 actions
 utilisent 
différentes
connexions
 dans le cerveau. Les connexions cérébrales ne
restent solides que si 
elles sont 
utilisées
. Si on ne les 
utilise pas, ils
s’affaiblissent
 et s’estompent avec le temps.
 
 
2. UTILISEZ-LE ET AMÉLIOREZ-LE
La pratique renforce les connexions cérébrales
.
Pratiquez pour garder le cerveau fort.

3. SPÉCIFICITÉ
Les 
cellules cérébrales
 exécutent des actions et des
compétences spécifiques
. Les exercices de 
thérapie
 ciblent des
cellules du cerveau spécifiques 
et des parties spécifiques du
cerveau. Les thérapeutes utilisent des exercices qui 
aident des
parties spécifiques 
du cerveau.

4. SIGNIFICANCE
Les exercices devraient être
 significatifs 
pour vous. La recherche
montre que la 
motivation aide le cerveau à guérir
Si vous
n’aimez pas
 le programme de réadaptation, demandez au
thérapeute un 
autre exercice
.

5. TRANSFERT
Les 
compétences
 utilisées dans une situation 
peuvent être
transférées
 dans une autre situation. En thérapie, on 
pratique les
compétences à utiliser dans la vie 
en dehors de la thérapie.
 
 
 
 
6. INTERFÉRENCE
La 
pratique de compétences
 dans un domaine peut
 affecter
d’autres compétences
 dans un autre domaine. Les
 thérapeutes
savent comment 
gérer
 cela.

9. RÉPÉTITION
Pratiquez pratiquez pratiquez! 
Entraînez le cerveau souvent
comme vous entraîneriez les muscles. La 
pratique régulière
 est
importante
.
 
 
 
10. INTENSITÉ
 
L’intensité est 
la mesure du travail
. L’intensité peut être :
 
 
                     le 
nombre de fois
 que vous faites un exercice
 
 
 
                     
pendant
 combien de temps
 on fait l’exercice
 
 
 
                     la difficulté
 de l’exercice
 
Changer d’intensité peut rendre les devoirs intéressants.
