Neuropsychological rehabilitation covers methods for retraining existing neural pathways, or building new ones, to regain or improve cognitive and sensory function that disease or trauma has diminished, with the aim of helping a person regain physical abilities and improve performance. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, concussion, and spinal cord injury are three of the neuropsychological problems most commonly treated this way, and the field remains an active area of research and practice for clinical neuropsychologists and rehabilitation psychologists.
