Overview

Scoping review reveals distinct dosing needs across neurological conditions, suggesting a three-pillar mechanism-based framework for personalized rehabilitation.

Key Points

  • To synthesize literature on therapeutic dosing and longitudinal management in neurologic motor rehabilitation and propose a mechanism-based clinical reasoning framework.
  • Conducted a scoping review following PRISMA-ScR guidelines, screening 9,373 records and synthesizing 42 eligible studies on dosing parameters and intensity.
  • Integrated literature findings with author consensus to establish a hypothesis-generating, three-pillar clinical framework.
  • Found no standardized dosing parameters across neurorehabilitation literature, but identified a broad dichotomy supporting higher-intensity approaches for non-progressive conditions versus energy conservation for progressive conditions.
  • Formulated a three-pillar framework differentiating care by functional responsiveness: optimization via neuroplastic restitution, maximization via high physiological effort, and preservation of remaining function via energy management.
