About

Worldwide, stroke remains one of the leading causes of death and long-term disability, with an estimated prevalence of 2.5%. The prevalence of people living with the effects of stroke has increased because of the growing aging population. As the number of stroke survivors increases, so does the demand for function rehabilitation of stroke. The goal of conventional rehabilitation is to improve residual function and restore independence, but its impact is still limited. Novel therapeutic approaches remain urgent and the potential mechanisms underlying these approaches require further exploration.

Therefore, in this Research Topic, our goals include: (1) to explore novel rehabilitation approaches of stroke in both acute and chronic stages; (2) to explore the potential mechanisms underlying novel rehabilitation approaches of stroke; (3) to explore different situations and challenges across different countries regarding rehabilitation of stroke; (4) to identify ways to further improve the quality of rehabilitation for stroke; (5) to identify and remove barriers that limit patients’ access to appropriate rehabilitation services.

We welcome submissions of research (Original Research, Review, Systematic Review, Clinical Trial, Brief Research Report, Opinion, Study Protocol) involving but not limited to:
1. Studies with the application of novel rehabilitation approaches to solve the limitations and problems in the current post-stroke rehabilitation system, especially near-infrared spectroscopy, and rehabilitation robots.
2. Studies with the application of novel approaches to conduct multi-dimensional analysis for the diagnosis, evaluation, and prediction of outcomes for patients with stroke.
3. Clinical trials, including open-label trials, randomized controlled trials, and controlled studies to prove the efficacy of various novel rehabilitation approaches of stroke.
4. Optimal timing for rehabilitation initiation after stroke.
5. Basic research aimed to explore the potential mechanisms underlying novel rehabilitation approaches for stroke.
