Neurol."],"abstract":"<jats:p>Post-stroke neurorehabilitation has long been shaped by a binary opposition between the Bobath concept and task-oriented training. The former emphasizes inhibition of aberrant patterns and facilitation of normative movement, while the latter prioritizes high-intensity, goal-directed repetition that may inadvertently reinforce compensatory strategies. This dichotomy persists largely because mechanistic frameworks capable of explaining their potential complementarity remain underdeveloped. This perspective article advances the hypothesis of temporal neural coupling. We propose that manual facilitation and postural preparation within the contemporary Bobath concept serve to optimize the spike-timing precision of descending corticospinal commands and the recruitment fidelity of spinal motor networks. This preparatory modulation establishes a low-entropy motor baseline and opens a permissive temporal window for inducing use-dependent long-term potentiation during subsequent task-specific practice. We argue that these modalities should not be viewed as discrete, sequentially administered phases. Rather, they constitute dynamically time-locked, synergistic components of a unified intervention strategy. The perspective article further outlines a future paradigm grounded in closed-loop neurofeedback, wherein real-time neurophysiological monitoring guides the precise, state-dependent orchestration of plasticity tailored to each patient\u2019s recovery
