Best article about motor learning principles (with a focus on neurorehabilitation)

Original article:

Principles of Neurorehabilitation After Stroke Based on Motor Learning and Brain Plasticity Mechanisms


Why you must read this article:

If you wonder what are the theoretical basis of neurorehabilitation interventions, this is the article for you. Maier et al. clearly outlined 15 motor learning principles, and then took a deep dive on both the neural basis and results from research trials.


Here are the motor learning principles identified:

1. massed practice

2. spaced practice

3. dosage

4. task-specific practice

5. goal-oriented practice

6. variable practice

7. increasing difficulty

8. multisensory stimulation

9. rhythmic cueing

10. explicit feedback/knowledge of results

11. implicit feedback/knowledge of performance

12. modulate effector selection

13. action observation/embodied practice

14. motor imagery

15. social interaction
