Effect of intermittent theta burst stimulation combined with acoustic startle priming motor training on upper limb motor function and neural plasticity in stroke individuals: study... by Jing Zhang, Yu Chen, Mingzhu Wang, Nan Xia, Jinghong Li, Weiqiang Liang, Yangyang Yin, Linhan Zhai, Qiuxia Wang

“…Recent research has underscored the growing significance of subcortical pathways in neural plasticity and motor control. Among these, the cortico-reticulospinal tract (CRST) has gained attention in rehabilitation due to its unique ascending and descending structural features as well as its cellular properties which position it as an excellent candidate to compensate for inadequate motor control post-stroke. …”

Periodization in Anterior Cruciate Ligament Rehabilitation: New Framework Versus Old Model? A Clinical Commentary by Georgios Kakavas, Florian Forelli, Nikolaos Malliaropoulos, Timothy E Hewett, Panagiotis Tsaklis

“…The return to sport and return to play of athletes after ACLR must progress through the recovery of strength, neuromotor control, and include cardiovascular training while considering different psychological aspects. Because motor control seems to be the key to a safe return to sport, it should be associated with the progressive development of strength, and cognitive abilities should also be considered throughout rehabilitation. …”
