The processes by which the brain can learn new information, or recover after injury, are known as neuroplasticity. In this presentation, we reveal actual applications using our latest understandings of exactly how to maximize neuroplasticity for people recovering from stroke, Parkinson's Disease, concussion, and more!

He has been a PT for nearly 30 years, conducting research, writing papers and book chapters on topics ranging from stroke rehabilitation, cognition, Parkinson's Disease, dual tasking, and much more. He has presented by invitation to 48 states, 4 provinces in Canada, 9 countries, and 3 continents. His full-time clinical practice is located in Salem, Oregon at Northwest Rehabilitation Associates. As an avid marathoner, and health nut/longevity nerd, Mike can be easily engaged on his thoughts about exercise, nutrition, sleep, and learning! www.mikestuder.com This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
