Abstract
Geriatric rehabilitation is an ever increasing part of the general physiatrist practice. Stroke rehabilitation will continue to make up a large part of that practice. Rehabilitation decreases institutionalization thereby decreasing long run costs. Stroke rehabilitation also improves quality of life and lengthens life. The management of these patients requires expert physiatric care. The most effective and least costly treatment option is still to be determined.
