Abstract

Stroke is the most common neurological disorder that impairs motor and sensory functions. The quality of life for post-stroke patients can be significantly improved with rehabilitation treatments. Traditional Chinese medicine has a long history documenting and treating stroke-like symptoms. Since World War Ⅱ, Western medicine started introducing a variety of rehabilitation therapeutic techniques to recover the impaired functions after stroke. In order to provide an overall picture of the development history of stroke rehabilitation technology, we categorized the relevant techniques based on their technical highlights in choronological order. Our aim is to help therapists and clinicians select the most effective rehabilitation treatment according to the specificity of stroke patients. DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1672-6731.2015.03.002
