Stroke is one of the most common neurologic disorders with the highest mortality, morbidity, and loss of activity. Its crude annual incidence rate in Iran is 113-149 per 100,000 population. Due to the relatively young population of our country and their aging in the near future, the stroke incidence will rise significantly. Despite prominent advances in neuroscience and the existence of some effective medications for controlling stroke in the hyperacute phase, one of the most promising therapeutic approaches for these patients is rehabilitation. In this review, we try to outline the principles of stroke rehabilitation, new advances, our experiences, opportunities, and obstacles in Iran, hoping to improve the level of knowledge and quality of care for one of the most demanding and disabled segments of the population.
