recovery and rehabilitation

of severe strokes is provided in this review. Clinical evidence

for various severe stroke rehabilitation models are discussed(including slow-stream, intensive care unit (ICU), and specialized interdisciplinary stroke rehabilitation).

Ethical dialogue pertaining to severe stroke is also presented.
