Abstract
Stroke is the most disabling of all neurologic diseases. Approximately 50% of survivors have a residual neurologic deficit and greater than 25% require chronic care. But fortunately the brain is ‘plastic’ and able to reorganize itself up to a certain degree of damage. As was investigated by Functional Imaging Studies, different types of plasticity after stroke and three possible post-lesion states are present. Recovery occur either through spontaneous reorganization, substitution of parallel pathways or through what is called cross modal plasticity. New strategies of rehabilitation after stroke were emerged based on these bases, such as the pharmacological rehabilitation, constraint induced movement therapy, EMG biofeedback, virtual reality techniques, robotic therapy rehabilitation methods, motor imagery, transcranial magnetic stimulation, acupuncture and stem cell transplantation.
