Useful rehabilitative methods in stroke rats and the mechanisms of functional recovery

因此，研究脑卒中患者的物理治疗方法具有重要意义。我们研究了一些运动的效果，如跑步机运动，杂技运动技能训练，和强迫肢体使用。各种康复方法均能通过脑的可塑性改变促进脑功能的恢复。另一方面，在大鼠脑梗死模型上，通过跑台运动，观察其对脑梗死的预防作用和对记忆功能的改善作用

It is very important to develop the methodology of physical therapy for stroke patients. We examined the effects of some kinds of exercise, as treadmill exercise, acrobatic motor skill training, and forced limb use. Each rehabilitative method was effective to enhance the functional recovery by the brain plastic changes. On the other hands, we showed the effects to prevent from brain infarction and to improve memory function by treadmill exercise in rat model of infarction
