Thus increased rehabilitation demands in conjunction with rapid growing world population raise the need for more healthcare personnel and medical infrastructure. In classical rehabilitation treatments, these procedures are being applied mostly by trained medical personnel manually. Later stages of the active treatments aim to let patients to regain some muscle strength by inducing resistances during the desired motion execution. Due to low muscle strength in early stages of active treatments, patients require some amount of assistance with respect to the level of their health condition. In active treatments though, patients should provide some level of muscle activities to perform desired motions, which is only possible by gaining the ability to send neurological signals to the affected extremity after plasticity formation. This early stage plays a vital role in patient recovery. In passive treatments repetitive desired motion activities of the patients are actuated by an external source for plasticity formation. In light of this, physical rehabilitation procedures should be utilized in systematic ways that are mainly generalized as passive and active treatment methodologies. įunctional recovery of the patients in these neurological diseases via plasticity formation is still possible with intensive, repetitive and most importantly immediate rehabilitation treatments after the incidents. Stroke can be seen as one of the main causes of these neurological disorders, where it was reclassified as neurological disease by WHO, leaving its former classification as cardiovascular disease. Amongst these disabilities, neurological disorders affect the largest number of people, who need intensive physical rehabilitation treatments to improve quality of their lives. In foreseeable future this rate is expected to be increased due to chronic health conditions as most of these disabled individuals live in countries with low to middle incomes.
World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that over one billion people, nearly 15% of global population, live with at least one kind of disability. Thus without any limitations all human beings are the candidates of such incidents. Throughout the life, various reasons may lead people to have temporary or permanent disabilities.
