Ischemic stroke is one of the leading causes of long-term disability worldwide. In the chronic stage, patients often suffer from persistent motor impairments and balance disorders due to complex neurophysiological changes. These include cortical damage, impaired neural connectivity, and dysfunction in sensory integration. This article examines the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying these impairments and highlights modern rehabilitation strategies aimed at improving functional recovery. The role of neuroplasticity and innovative rehabilitation techniques is emphasized.
