Abstract EN
There have been many advances in management of cerebrovascular diseases.
However, stroke is still one of the leading causes of disabilities and mortality worldwide with significant socioeconomic burden.
This review summarizes the consequences of stroke in the elderly, predictors of stroke rehabilitation outcomes, role of rehabilitation in neuronal recovery, importance of stroke rehabilitation units, and types of rehabilitation resources and services available in Singapore.
We also present the challenges faced by the elderly stroke survivors in the local setting and propose strategies to overcome the barriers to rehabilitation in this aging population.
