And yet most acupuncturists point to China and its overwhelming use of acupuncture for strokes as the reason for using that placebo.
The real problem here is not lack of rehabilitation, its the lack of preventing more disability by stopping the neuronal cascade of death.

A LACK of after-surgery rehabilitation has resulted in a high percentage of
disability among the 10.36 million stroke survivors over 40 years old in the
nation, experts said.
Compared with the 80 percent rehabilitation rate of stroke survivors in
Western countries, over 70 percent of Chinese patients who survived stroke were
left with disorders like paralysis and serious language deficiencies. About 40
percent of them have very serious disabilities.
Early detection and treatment while a stroke is taking place, effective
therapy and rehabilitation afterwards are all keys for patients' survival and
recovery.
Stroke patients who receive early and effective rehabilitation training have
a three times higher recovery rate than those who don't receive rehabilitation,
said Wang Yanni from Pinetree China, a private company that calls itself the
nation's first professional facility offering at-home care and service for
after-surgery patients or those needing rehabilitation after surviving
diseases.
Teamed up with domestic elderly care organizations, Pinetree announced it
will offer free rehabilitation for 20,000 after-stroke patients living in
Beijing and Shanghai in the following year.
