Permanent injury to the nervous system can occur in a number of ways and lead to profound residual disability. Attempts to restore function are being made by many different groups. They range from prosthetic repair to pharmacological intervention. A theoretical framework within which injuries can be analysed and understood is desirable. One is proposed. From it a rational set of approaches to the restoration of nervous system function is generated. These are outlined.
