neuroplasticity and stroke rehab - easy vs. hard

I think we need to understand the difference here and educate our medical staff about this. Researchers absolutely need to focus on hard neuroplasticity rather than the easy way out of just finding ways to enhance damaged neuron recovery. What is easy neuroplasticity vs. hard neuroplasticity?. Easy would be the recovery of the penumbra or bleed drainage area. My OT told me I needed to do something 10,000 times in order to rewire. She might be correct for the easy stuff but the hard neuroplasticity I think may take millions of times because you need to find a new landing spot for those functions first. So realistically the first couple hundred thousand times there will be no movement bacause there is no connection at all. This is where stroke doctors are falling down on the job, they don't give people a damage diagnosis of penumbra vs, dead area and the various functions they covered. I think that would mean that therapists should have different protocols for damaged areas vs. dead. But what the hell do I know, my wife is a PT and she thinks I'm insane for thinking that I might know more than my medical staff. I made up the terms easy vs. hard. Pass it around, the hundreth monkey theory in action.
