ABSTRACT
Stroke is a leading cause of disability worldwide. Neuroplasticity, a condition wherein the brain's dynamic response to injury is heightened and rehabilitation might be effective, is observed shortly after acute stroke. However, although several trials have demonstrated that initiating treatment within 24 hours after stroke is potentially harmful, some have shown that early rehabilitation of patients is beneficial. Administration of constraint-induced movement therapy within two weeks after stroke appears to be beneficial for the upper extremities. In addition, intensive early post-stroke therapy may be beneficial for patients with severe aphasia. Novel approaches to early treatment of post-stroke dysphagia appear promising; however, the high rate of spontaneous improvement makes it difficult to gauge their benefits. Overall, although increasing evidence indicates that initiating rehabilitative strategies within two weeks after stroke is beneficial for some deficits, the optimal time for initiating post-stroke rehabilitation remains undetermined. Keywords stroke, early rehabilitation, neuroplasticity, early mobilization.
