The Efficacy of Stroke Rehabilitation
Chapter 5
Effective stroke rehabilitation is characterised by an interdisciplinary team working cohesively and closely to provide a comprehensive program for each patient. These programs vary in the types of therapies provided as well as their intensity, frequency, and duration. Evidence related to stroke rehabilitation effectiveness, location, management, and composition is presented in this review. As well, past meta-analyses of stroke rehabilitation effectiveness, cost-effectiveness, and comparison with other interventions are presented.
