“…On including patients who need assistance with their usual duties and activities (mRS 2) or have any stroke-related symptoms (mRS 1), the proportion increases up to 74% ( 2 ). Therefore, an adequate individualized rehabilitation plan is mandatory for patients with acute stroke to reduce long-term disabilities and socioeconomic burdens ( 5 , 6 ). However, the time window for the effect of rehabilitation on functional recovery is limited as survivors reach their functional plateau 6–12 months after stroke onset ( 7 , 8 ).…”

Transitional and Long-Term Rehabilitation Care System After Stroke in Korea

Stroke is one of the leading causes of mortality and disability in Korea. Patients who experience stroke require adequate management throughout the acute to subacute and chronic stages. Many patients with long-term functional issues require rehabilitative management even in the chronic stage. A comprehensive rehabilitation and care model for patients who experience stroke is necessary to effectively manage their needs during rehabilitation and allocate medical resources throughout the stages, thus ensuring reduced unmet needs and improved post-stroke quality of life. In Korea, the government and medical specialists are working on re-organizing the rehabilitation care model, including standardized triage and discharge planning after acute stroke treatment, and establishing systematic transitional and long-term rehabilitation care plans. This review briefly introduces the general rehabilitation triage after acute stroke and describes the current transitional and continuous care systems available for these patients in Korea. We also present the issues faced in transitional and long-term care plans of the current system and the efforts invested in resolving them and promoting long-term care in stroke cases.

“…It is well known that intensive inpatient rehabilitation treatment during the subacute stage can reduce disabilities in stroke patients [ 1 3 ]. Clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) for stroke rehabilitation have been developed to enhance the quality of care and increase the consistency of practices across settings in many countries [ 4 5 6 ].…”

Stroke survivors with disabilities have increased in Korea as the population has aged. Early stroke rehabilitation is known to be an essential therapy in gaining functional independence and preventing complications. Recent research on the rehabilitation usage of stroke patients was reviewed in this manuscript. For the past 15 years, it was found that comprehensive rehabilitation assessments have been performed faster in more stroke patients, and intensive inpatient stroke rehabilitation has been applied to more stroke patients at an earlier stroke phase in Korea. In addition, the effect of rehabilitation was maintained. However, few reports have assessed the status of stroke rehabilitation in Korea. Therefore, basic statistical research based on accurate national statistics is needed in the future.

“…Therefore, reducing disability and improving functional independence of stroke survivors is the primary goal of poststroke management [ 7 ]. Almost all stroke patients recover to a considerable extent, yet only 64.1% of patients achieved functional independence 6 months after stroke onset [ 8 ]. Knowledge related to the recovery period and long-term outcomes after stroke is important in determining the appropriate treatment and timing of rehabilitation.…”
