My AHA moment at the field trip to King Fahad Specialist Hospital was when they explained about neuroplasticity. Neuroplasticity is also known as remapping, it occurs when someone has a paralyzed hand or foot all the neurons think that the hand is not functional. so they don't help it. But during physiotherapy(usually abbreviated to PT) they make you practice moving that hand or those fingers whatever part of you is paralyzed. When this happens the neurons think your hand is functional and move into your hand and help it move. There are many machines at the hospital to help in PT and also a very large gym. for rehabilitation. In KFSH we had a lot of moment like my AHA moment but this was very amazing to know about.
