Popis: Eighty percent of survivors (approximately 140,000 per year) have a significant impairment of neurologic function, but are not totally disabled. These are the patients who may benefit from rehabilitation. Rehabilitation cannot restore the activity of paralyzed muscles, but it will train the patient to utilize remaining functions to compensate for what has been lost.
