Stroke rehabilitation has undergone a revolution over the last three decades.
Cohort studies have consistently reinforced the importance of post-stroke
rehabilitation to stimulate recovery, but the concepts of empirical methods
originally proposed by therapists to rehabilitate these patients have not
withstood clinical analysis. Functional neuroimaging and animal models have
unveiled the mechanisms underlying functional recovery and helped teams
understand its limitations and improvement modalities. These neuroscience
discoveries constitute the grounds needed to understand the emergence of new
technologies: robotics and virtual reality. The objective of this review of the
literature was to select key works in this field to better understand current
therapeutic possibilities.
