: "Rehabilitation with Poststroke Motor Recovery" highlights how motor recovery is tied to neural plasticity and the formation of new neuronal interconnections.
: "Recovery from stroke: current concepts and future perspectives" (2020) discusses how the brain reorganizes its functional architecture post-stroke and how neuroimaging can help tailor interventions. Stroke Recovery and Rehabilitation

Several high-quality papers and guidelines provide comprehensive overviews of stroke recovery and rehabilitation. A central resource is the published by the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association. Key Scientific Papers & Reviews Stroke Recovery and Rehabilitation
Effective programs generally focus on these evidence-based areas:
: While early mobilization is key, clinical trials like AVERT suggest that "more is not always better" during the very acute phase (first 24 hours), though higher frequency of later sessions is beneficial.
