Stroke is one of the most health-threatening diseases in the world, with high incidence and high morbidity. Despite the development of stroke therapy and improved systems to recognize stroke symptoms and deliver care promptly, only a minority of patients with acute stroke receive thrombolytic therapy, and many of them remain with residual functional deficits. Thus, the need for effective stroke rehabilitation is likely to remain an essential part of the continuum of stroke care for the foreseeable future. This review summarizes and analyzes the results of literatures on stroke rehabilitation in recent years, briefly describes the rehabilitation techniques and progress in dyskinesia, speech barrier, dysphagia, emotional disorder and spasticity after stroke, to provide some references for the optimization of rehabilitation treatment.
