Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Every year, stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability in millions of people worldwide. Stroke leaves patients with significant sequelae, such as motor impairment, speech impairment, cognitive impairment, and swallowing disorders, and places a heavy burden on the patient's family. Rehabilitation, exercises, neuromodulation, and other interventional methods are central topics in stroke research. This Special Issue will cover a range of innovative approaches to stroke care and rehabilitation, including the following topics:
- Stroke Care: Explorations of the new intervention techniques and protocols for stroke care and the potential of neuroprotective and regenerative agents;
- Neurotechnology and Artificial Intelligence-Based Interventions: Discussions of the use of virtual reality, robotics, sensors, wearables, and artificial intelligence in stroke rehabilitation;
- Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation: Investigations into the effectiveness of transcranial magnetic and electrical stimulations in promoting neural plasticity;
- Rehabilitation Exercise Techniques: Innovative approaches to restoring functional disability and improving cardiorespiratory fitness in stroke survivors.
By exploring cutting-edge technologies, techniques, and interventions, we aim to contribute to the development of innovative, evidence-based strategies that can optimize stroke care and rehabilitation and improve the lives of stroke survivors.
