Stroke rehabilitation for cognitive defects is often called cognitive rehabilitation. Once able, resistance training has yielded amazing results (compared to a control group) in terms of regaining mobility.4 It can even improve both paretic and nonparetic lower extremity strength — that being mobility lost either in part or completely as a result of the stroke.
A recent review of 13 studies including 517 stroke patients with mild to moderate impairment of their arms found that strengthening brain exercises for stroke recovery hands and arms with small weights, resistance bands, and pulley weights could be done without increasing spasticity and pain.

The type of rehabilitation you perform is based on a few different things, including stroke severity, the part of the brain that was affected, the impact of the stroke on your mind and body, your general health, and how long you are able to work on your recovery.
Very few studies have examined the safety and efficacy of passive cycle ergometer exercise in stroke patients (Table 2). This is interesting since personal observation of a rehabilitation unit in a local, community hospital has indicated use of the motorized cycle ergometer regularly as part of rehabilitation therapy in stroke patients.

CPM induces an involuntary pumping action by the muscles (which normally would be inactive) that increases lymphatic and venous drainage or flow 18, 22. In addition, Bressel and McNair 25 propose that the thixotropic property of the muscle (i.e., the physical change of the muscle after being mechanically agitated) may improve soft-tissue compliance and decrease muscle stiffness and any associated pain.
Therefore, this scientific statement provides an overview on exercise rehabilitation for post-stroke will use systematic literature reviews, clinical and epidemiology reports, published morbidity and mortality studies, clinical and public health guidelines, patient files, and authoritative statements to support this overview.Evidence clearly supports the use of various kinds of exercise training (e.g., aerobic, strength, flexibility, neuromuscular, and traditional Chinese exercise) for stroke survivors.
The legs tended to recover function more often than that of the arms and the proximal segments recovered function more frequently than the distal segments 9. The trunk muscles are affected the least in hemiplegia and, in some cases, full recovery of trunk function can occur following a stroke.

For example, Bao et al. have reported the use of Kinect-assisted computer-based upper limb rehabilitation therapy that aimed to improve the upper limb functionalities in post-stroke patients ( Bao et al., 2013 ). Again, Liao et al. have used the Kinect-based system for postural tracking of a patient's upper limb for improving shoulder and elbow movements ( Liao et al., 2018 ). Instead of offering only visual feedback, researchers have augmented such systems with auditory feedback ( Sin and Lee, 2013 ). In one of the recent review articles ( Webster and Ozkan, 2014 ), the use of Kinect coupled with computer-based graphical interface powered by Virtual Reality (VR) has been reported for upper limb rehabilitation exercises.
