RESEARCH OVERVIEW
Abstract
Stroke remains one of the leading causes of long-term disability worldwide. Despite advancements in acute stroke management, many survivors experience residual impairments that significantly reduce their quality of life. Modern strategies in neurorehabilitation aim to leverage technological innovations and interdisciplinary approaches to maximize functional recovery. This article reviews the current evidence-based strategies, including robotics, virtual reality, brain-computer interfaces, and tele-rehabilitation, as well as personalized, patient-centered therapy plans. The discussion highlights clinical outcomes, challenges in implementation, and future directions in post-stroke neurorehabilitation.
