The role of neurorehabilitati on in post stroke recovery
Keywords:
Stroke recovery, neurorehabilitation, early interventionAbstract
Stroke is one of the leading causes of adult disability worldwide. While advancements in acute stroke management have significantly reduced mortality, a large proportion of stroke survivors experience long-term neurological deficits. Neurorehabilitation plays a crucial role in optimizing functional recovery and improving the quality of life for these individuals. This article explores the principles, methodologies, and evidence-based outcomes of neurorehabilitation in post-stroke care, emphasizing its interdisciplinary nature and the importance of early and intensive intervention.
