Functional recovery refers to the process by which individuals who have experienced a physical or psychological impairment regain the ability to perform everyday activities and tasks. This can include regaining motor skills, cognitive function, communication abilities, and overall independence. Research in this area often focuses on understanding the mechanisms and interventions that can support and promote functional recovery, with the goal of improving the quality of life and overall well-being of individuals who have experienced a loss of function. This research may involve studying the brain's ability to reorganize and adapt after injury, developing rehabilitation techniques, and evaluating the effectiveness of various therapies and interventions.
