I do my own neurorehab using physical activity and using my own system for biofeedback (Heart Rate, skin respons, Blood glycos,muscle control) and I notice a correlation between having a sharp mind and getting better muscle control or not being able to think and no power to the muscles.

Basically I use existing physical activities with a different low load profile short duration, pacing, Heart Rate zone and daily repetition combined with extreme loading that forces shutdown muscles to engage.

Does it exits "neuro plastic" research that evaluate best practice physical training methods ?

My ANS function is effected and my sensory brain / vision/hearing is a limiting factor. Adjusted physical activity reduces pain and stiffness for me. How can physical activity/training replace computer based for brain plasticity training?

When I started this journey it was from 5 min awake per hour x3 times a day. I Spent some time at Bosön swedish athlete training facility and they also have a rehabgroup for Spine damage,MS and post polio persons training and the rehabgroup really tried hard to work physically and i made an assumption that the difference is a noisy brain the needs a lot of resources to produce little outcome and doing less and being successful in the little would help the brain to sort the the signals (see Norman Doidge The Brain that changes itself)

In softwire there is a mention about diffuse brain damage due to infections like late lyme. One question for @MichaelMerzenich if he could expand on this.

jemsmovment.com and total stabilization is a good start, you need to be able to see your body and let the brain workout sensory feedback

Agile development as a principle and taking small successful steps observing stability in movement which is about how core is handling forces. Agile for you have no idee where you are coming from and where you are doing, meaning need a change things that you don't know that don't know.

Some muscle control need repeated frequent dynamic training(ie low load) and a progression. Each morning I use 10-30 min to wake the brain and set a direction, call calibrating my movement. I also take a walk as inspired from Norman Doidge the healing brain.

I think in terms of elongating my body like have a balloon pulling my head. My feet feeling the ground and pushing away. All movement is done mindfully, weight, reps and sets does not matter, how the movement feels is more important.

I have looked at how athletes train but from a brain prospective Take the ability to get up from sitting, walking or climbing steps. All contact/forces goes thru the foot and you need to have sufficient power to fulfill the movement and maintain a neutral spine position and maintain movement in one direction/plane. Transversus abdomius with friends need to engage to protect the spine before the actual force is applied, there is a timing issue here.

The signal chains would be The foot reads the floor and activates Glutes Maximus that activates the core and movement is need for this. If you just activate directly(bracing) you get a stiff system that tries to stop movement and the forces need to be absorbed by the tissue which means swelling and loss of mobility. When the core muscles is activated we can handle forces and keeping the spine, knees and hips in a safe zone.

There is a lot of feedback from the tissue that need to happen, no feedback -> no muscle power. Pain -> no muscle power. With chronic pain condition your awareness of pain is not work meaning your muscles lack control as the system tries to protect from damage that may or may not exist. With aging ie from 25-30 we start losing muscle power and from 60-65 we lose about 15 %/10 years this is due to fast fiber nerves gets disconnected from muscle and the muscle gets adopted by slow twitch nerves and when we can't produces sufficient power we need a wheel chair. Physical activity changes scene dramatically. For some people as the ones in the rehabgroup this happens much faster.

Questions for @MichaelMerzenich Is this a Brain plasticity at work ? How can the physical activity be improved with brain plasticity in mind?

P.S. If you tell me a little bit more about the nature of your visual and auditory impairment then I may be able to provide additional information.

I would like to tell you more, it takes some time for me to find the words and just now I have some difficulties to find the words and express myself. Can I comeback to you ?
