Rehabilitation after stroke has evolved over the past 15 years from conventional treatment techniques to task specific training techniques which involve training of basic functions, skills and endurance (muscular and cardiovascular).[3] Functional training has been well supported in evidenced based research for rehabilitation of this population.[3][4][5] It has been shown that task specific training yields long-lasting cortical reorganization which is specific to the areas of the brain being used with each task.[5] Studies have also shown that patients make larger gains in functional tasks used in their rehabilitation and since they are more likely to continue practicing these tasks in everyday living, better results during follow-up are obtained.[3][4]
