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.
随着韩国人口老龄化,残疾中风幸存者的数量有所增加。众所周知,早期中风康复是实现功能独立和预防并发症的重要疗法。本文对近期关于中风患者康复使用情况的研究进行了综述。在过去15年中,发现在韩国,更多的中风患者能够更快地接受全面康复评估,并且更多的中风患者在中风早期阶段就接受了强化住院中风康复治疗。此外,康复效果得以维持。然而,很少有报告评估韩国中风康复的现状。因此,未来需要基于准确的国家统计数据进行基础统计研究。
