Abstract：
:It is clear from this article that additional studies examining what factors can be used to predict the outcome of stroke and what process achieves the best outcome most effectively need to be developed. The available data support the usefulness of a coordinated rehabilitation program in the treatment of the functional impairment that occurs after the stroke. The process of rehabilitation is a vibrant and exciting one for all individuals involved. It is a unique process in medicine in which the physician does not "do" anything to the patient, but rather he or she leads a multidisciplinary team in providing a milieu in which the patient can improve and better his or her functional abilities. The process of seeing patients improve and overcome the often overwhelming sequelae of stroke to return home in an independent fashion is gratifying not only for the patient but also for the members of the rehabilitation team. In rehabilitation there is a focus on not only the health of the patient but also a strong focus on the quality of life and functional independence once the patient returns home.
