Summary: | In February 2014 an update of a systematic review was published on the effectiveness of physical therapy after stroke. This review shows that the quality and quantity of the scientific basis for physical therapy interventions in rehabilitation after stroke have increased significantly, which confirms the relevance of physical therapy in multidisciplinary stroke care. As far as physical therapy is concerned, implementation of the results of this review and organisation or reorganisation of care so that it is accessible to all patients is a major challenge. We propose that the general practitioner should be given a central role in the care of patients during the chronic phase after stroke. |
