Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Stroke remains a leading cause of long-term disability worldwide, placing a significant burden on individuals, families, and healthcare systems. Advances in neurological rehabilitation play a vital role in improving functional recovery and enhancing quality of life for stroke survivors. This Special Issue, "Clinical Research on Neurological Rehabilitation After Stroke," aims to highlight recent developments, innovative therapeutic approaches, and emerging technologies in stroke rehabilitation. We welcome original clinical studies, randomized controlled trials, case reports, and systematic reviews that address interventions such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, neuromodulation, robotics, virtual reality, and cognitive rehabilitation. Additionally, we encourage submissions focusing on novel assessment tools, biomarkers for recovery prediction, and strategies for personalizing rehabilitation programs. Contributions exploring the integration of multidisciplinary care and long-term community reintegration are also of interest. Through this Special Issue, we seek to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date understanding of effective clinical practices in stroke rehabilitation and to foster international collaboration among researchers and clinicians working in this critical field.
