Abstract
Motor impairment due to stroke limits patients' mobility, activities of daily living, and negatively affects their return to the workplace. It also reduces patients' quality of life and increases the socioeconomic burden of stroke. Therefore, optimizing the recovery of motor impairment after stroke is a very important goal for both individuals and society as a whole. The emergence and improvement of various technologies in the Fourth Industrial Revolution have exerted a major influence on the development of new rehabilitation methods and efficiency enhancements for existing methods. This review categorizes rehabilitation methods that promote the recovery of motor function into upper limb function and lower limb function and summarizes recent advances in stroke rehabilitation. Although debate continues regarding the effects of some rehabilitation therapies, it is hoped that the evidence will be improved through ongoing research so that clinicians can treat patients with a higher level of evidence.
