Behind this chapter, lies a mnesaje: "Train your brain, your mind can change!".
"Every skill learned, every language studied, every experience reconfigures your brain mapping, and is that the brain is malleable prepared for a variety of activities. Eduardo Punset traveled to London for talks with Sarah Blakemore, a neuroscientist expert on brain changes throughout life. "

3 basic functions:

Orthoses: are the devices, splints, assistive devices, etc.. seeking to improve and / or correct or facilitate the implementation of an activity can also be useful to save energy, align, or correct deformities, etc.
Prosthesis: artificial extension that replaces or provides a missing body part. Replaces a body part that has been lost, or that there before, trying to meet the functions assigned to the body segment or at least reduce functional difficulties.
The difference between a prosthetic and orthotic is that the prosthesis are intended to replace an organ or limb or part thereof , and secondly the brace they do is replace or strengthen the function.
