Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Stroke is a serious medical and social problem due to its frequency of occurrence. The consequences of a stroke in the form of various types of deficits significantly limit everyday functioning and make independence difficult. Depending on the degree of brain damage, there is a risk of paresis, paralysis, balance disorders, sensory disorders, dysphagia, aphasia, and memory disorders. Thus, rehabilitation is so important for patients following a stroke. One of the key elements of successful rehabilitation after a stroke is how quickly it begins. It should be implemented as soon as possible, within the first few days of hospitalization. It can significantly improve the patient's condition and restore the ability to function independently. Furthermore, rehabilitation can limit the negative effects of stroke and reduce the risk of thromboembolic complications that can occur shortly after a stroke. Rehabilitation after a stroke is long-term and is influenced by many factors, including the patient’s age, cooperation from the patient, the time of commencement of rehabilitation, the number and type of comorbidities, the therapeutic methods used, the degree of brain damage, and others. Due to the seriousness of the topic, the aim of this Special Issue is to present, in a broad sense, clinical perspectives concerning rehabilitation after stroke.
