With the gradual aging of the population, neurological disorders, including stroke, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, etc., are causing increasing distress and may even cause the loss of ability to perform activities of daily living. These disorders are generally progressive. Once onset, they may affect the entire life span with subsequent functional impairments such as motor impairment, speech impairment, swallowing impairment, sensory impairment, and cognitive impairment. Rehabilitation therapy is essential for the dysfunction caused by such disorders. Proper rehabilitation programs can improve or compensate for patients' dysfunction, and thus facilitate the restoration of their ability to daily living, help them return to social life, and reduce family and social stress.
In addition to conventional medication and rehabilitation techniques, novel techniques or treatment models can bring new hope to the treatment and rehabilitation of these dysfunctions, which are usually accompanied by technological advances or developments. New techniques or programming are invented when doctors or therapists find that existing treatment techniques can't meet the rehabilitation needs of patients. Novel treatment models can be formed by improving and recombining existing rehabilitation treatment techniques, such as closed-loop treatment models that combine non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) with peripheral interventions. These novel techniques or treatment models will help patients better complete their rehabilitation and shed new light on neurological disease rehabilitation.
We will encourage the submissions of article types of Original Research and Review. The scope of the manuscripts in this Research Topic covers, but is not limited to:
• Clinical trial efficacy studies on new technologies for neurological disorders.
• Application and expansion of NIBS in neurological disorders.
• Novel technologies applied to the rehabilitation study of animal models of neurological diseases
• Application of magnetic resonance, electroencephalography, and functional near-infrared spectroscopy in evaluating the effectiveness of treatment of neurological disorders.
• Construction of new technologies and new models applied to the rehabilitation of functional disorders caused by neurological diseases.
• Research on the scientific mechanism of new technologies acting on the brain in neurological disorders.
