Abstract The incidence of physical disability in the community resulting from neurological dysfunction is predicted to increase in the coming years. The impetus for immediate and critical evaluation of physical neurorehabilitation strategies stems from the largely incomplete recovery following neurological damage questionable efficacy of individual rehabilitation techniques and the progressive acceptance of evidence-based medicine. The emergent technologies of non-invasive brain stimulation NBS and rehabilitation robotics enable a better understanding of the recovery process as well as the mechanisms and effectiveness of intervention. With a more precise grasp of the relationship between dysfunctional and treatment-related plasticity we can anticipate a move toward highly controlled and individualised .
