Stroke SIG: An Argument Against (?!) Neuroplasticity – Episode 29

The Student Corner of the Stroke SIG (Ben Lindaman, Pam Bosch, and Dana Kohl) assisted with this podcast idea, challenging our thoughts regarding neuroplasticity and how functional improvements occur. This podcast will likely be enjoyed by both students and clinicians. We would love to hear your thoughts on this podcast! We look forward to discussing this podcast in an upcoming membership meeting (Spring 2026).
