In the days or months following a stroke, many patients experience a partial or sometimes complete recovery of neurological symptoms. However, approximately 75% of patients will have residual neurological, cognitive and behavioral abnormalities (impairment) and patients will have limited mobility, often requiring assistance from others to perform their activities of daily living (activity limitation), which creates a significant barrier to participation in normal social life (limitation of participation). Clinical practice and research results show that: rehabilitation medical treatment can prevent the occurrence of disability to a certain extent and help and speed up the recovery of impaired functions; rehabilitation measures such as active retraining and orthopedic braces enable patients to make better use of personal and environmental resources to perform their various activities of daily living and minimize the effects of disability; rehabilitation enables patients to maximize their recovery and participation in social life and improve their quality of life. In recent years, the development of evidence-based medicine has confirmed that rehabilitation medicine is an important component of organized stroke management (stroke unit). Therefore, the aims of rehabilitation are: 1) to prevent the onset of disability and to improve motor, verbal communication, cognitive and other impaired functions (at the physical level); 2) to restore the patient’s ability to perform activities of daily living (at the activity level) as much as possible; 3) to re-adapt the patient mentally and socially in order to restore his or her self-sufficiency, social activities and interpersonal relationships and to improve the patient’s quality of life – the quality of life associated with Stroke-related quality of life (at the level of participation).
