Rehabilitation for Pediatric Stroke in Low and Middle Income Countries: A Focused Review.

Rehabilitation for pediatric stroke survivors can maximize a child's potential through each developmental stage of life. Timely diagnosis and referral to a rehabilitation specialist may harness opportunities to maximize brain plasticity, to help children adapt and learn, and to participate in and enjoy daily life to their capability. The aim of this focused review is to explore current rehabilitation models and evidence-based interventions for pediatric stroke survivors in Low- and Middle- Income Countries (LMICs) and to provide recommendations for future research and focused areas of improvement.
