Abstract

"Clinical Practice Guideline for Stroke Rehabilitation in Korea 2016" is the 3rd edition of clinical practice guideline (CPG) for stroke rehabilitation in Korea, which updates the 2nd edition published in 2014. Forty-two specialists in stroke rehabilitation from 21 universities and 4 rehabilitation hospitals and 4 consultants participated in this update. The purpose of this CPG is to provide optimum practical guidelines for stroke rehabilitation teams to make a decision when they manage stroke patients and ultimately, to help stroke patients obtain maximal functional recovery and return to the society. The recent two CPGs from Canada (2015) and USA (2016) and articles that were published following the 2nd edition were used to develop this 3rd edition of CPG for stroke rehabilitation in Korea. The chosen articles' level of evidence and grade of recommendation were decided by the criteria of Scotland (2010) and the formal consensus was derived by the nominal group technique. The levels of evidence range from 1++ to 4 and the grades of recommendation range from A to D. Good Practice Point was recommended as best practice based on the clinical experience of the guideline developmental group. The draft of the developed CPG was reviewed by the experts group in the public hearings and then revised. "Clinical Practice Guideline for Stroke Rehabilitation in Korea 2016" consists of "˜Chapter 1; Introduction of Stroke Rehabilitation', "˜Chapter 2; Rehabilitation for Stroke Syndrome, "˜Chapter 3; Rehabilitation for Returning to the Society', and "˜Chapter 4; Advanced Technique for Stroke Rehabilitation'. "Clinical Practice Guideline for Stroke Rehabilitation in Korea 2016" will provide direction and standardization for acute, subacute and chronic stroke rehabilitation in Korea.
