Traumatic brain injury (TBI) in children represents a major cause of long-term neurological disability, affecting cognitive, motor, and behavioral functions. Neuroplasticity, defined as the brain’s ability to reorganize structural and functional networks in response to injury and experience, plays a central role in recovery after pediatric TBI. This article analyzes the mechanisms of neuroplasticity and its significance in pediatric neurorehabilitation following traumatic brain injury. Particular attention is given to age-dependent plastic responses, synaptic reorganization, cortical remapping, and the influence of rehabilitation interventions such as physical therapy, cognitive training, and neuromodulation techniques. The findings indicate that targeted rehabilitation strategies can enhance adaptive neuroplastic changes, improve functional outcomes, and reduce long-term disability. Understanding neuroplastic mechanisms is essential for optimizing rehabilitation programs and improving quality of life in children after traumatic brain injury.
