Stroke interrupts neural circuits — but it doesn't erase the brain's ability to rebuild them. Understanding how neuroplasticity and mirror therapy work together gives stroke survivors and their families a scientific foundation for hope and action. How the Brain Recovers: Neuroplasticity When a stroke damages neurons, surviving brain cells quickly begin extending new connections and forming alternative pathways. These pathways mature when...

Every year, over 15 million strokes occur globally, with approximately half of survivors experiencing persistent upper-limb dysfunction. In the US alone, nearly 800,000 new strokes happen annually — and over 80% of those affected struggle daily with hand and arm dysfunction. The good news: these deficits aren't necessarily permanent.
