Stroke is a leading cause of disability worldwide and upper limb hemiparesis is the most common post-stroke disability. Recent studies suggest that clinically significant motor recovery is possible in chronic stroke survivors with severe impairment of the upper limb. Three promising strategies that have been investigated are (1) high dose rehabilitation therapy (2) bilateral motor priming and (3) vagus nerve stimulation. We propose that the future of effective and efficient upper limb rehabilitation will likely require a combination of these approaches.
中风是全球致残的主要原因，上肢偏瘫是最常见的中风后残疾。最近的研究表明，上肢严重受损的慢性中风幸存者有可能实现具有临床意义的运动恢复。已被研究的三种有前景的策略是：（1）高剂量康复治疗；（2）双侧运动启动；（3）迷走神经刺激。我们认为，有效且高效的上肢康复未来可能需要这些方法的组合。
