This session will explore groundbreaking advancements in stroke rehabilitation, focusing on innovative approaches that enhance functional recovery and quality of life. Discussions will cover the integration of technology into Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine (PRM), addressing its role in education, clinical applications, and global rehabilitation strategies. The session will also examine the clinical application of virtual reality (VR) in stroke recovery, evaluating its potential as a rehabilitation tool. Additionally, emerging rehabilitation technologies will be highlighted, including immersive VR adaptations of standardized dexterity tests, sensor-based feedback systems to promote upper limb activity, and novel treatment strategies. Results from a multicenter randomized controlled trial on early exoskeleton-assisted therapy will be presented, demonstrating its impact on upper limb motor recovery in the subacute phase. Finally, multimodal therapy and the use of adjunctive therapies to botulinum toxin A (BoNT-A) in spasticity management will be discussed, along with strategies for integrating these advancements into everyday clinical practice. Designed for clinicians, researchers, and engineers, this session offers valuable insights into the latest innovations driving stroke rehabilitation forward.
