Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Stroke remains one of the leading causes of mortality and long-term disability worldwide, representing a major clinical, social, and economic challenge. Despite substantial advances in prevention and acute stroke management, many survivors continue to experience persistent motor, cognitive, communicative, swallowing, and functional impairments that significantly affect independence and quality of life. Consequently, there is a growing need for innovative, multidisciplinary, and evidence-based approaches aimed at improving recovery and long-term outcomes in stroke patients.
This Special Issue, entitled “Advances in the Treatment and Rehabilitation of Stroke Patients”, aims to provide an updated overview of current developments and emerging trends in stroke treatment and neurorehabilitation. The scope of this Special Issue includes acute stroke management, secondary prevention, neuroplasticity, motor and cognitive recovery, functional rehabilitation, dysphagia management, assistive technologies, telerehabilitation, robotic rehabilitation, virtual reality, wearable devices, and the implementation of artificial intelligence in clinical practice.
Particular attention will be given to multidisciplinary and patient-centered approaches that promote functional independence, participation, and quality of life. This Special Issue also seeks to explore innovative therapeutic strategies and translational research that may contribute to optimizing rehabilitation outcomes and healthcare delivery for stroke survivors.
We welcome original research articles, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, clinical studies, and high-quality narrative reviews related to stroke treatment and rehabilitation.
We look forward to receiving your valuable contributions.
