In particular, the treatment and rehabilitation paradigm has improved significantly as a result of advances in acute interventions, risk reduction, medical devices, therapeutic modalities and exercise, robotics, diagnostic imaging techniques, and our overall understanding of the disease process itself. This resulted in a 35% reduction in the population-based death rate due to stroke between 1998 and 2008. Even with this progress, stroke remains a leading cause of death and disability in the world. Multidisciplinary stroke rehabilitation remains the primary treatment for post-stroke disability and should begin as soon as possible to optimize functional recovery and avoid potential complications and setbacks.
