[edit] I

I created this page from the stroke page but not sure it was a good idea. Better readability if stroke rehabilitation is embedded in the stroke page I think. User:Dokane

It depends largely on how big this article will be getting. If it stops at 200 words, we may as well merge it with cerebrovascular accident. Sometimes, the subject pertains to more articles, and in those cases a split-off is certainly warranted, but here the stroke rehab is a virtual continuation of stroke.

Stroke rehabilitation is a huge and very important field of research in neurology and I am personally convinced that the wide variety of treatments and insights available will create a rich and dense "stroke rehabilitation" article. In addition, the "stroke" article focuses a lot on the before and the during stroke, which is essential and deserves, also, lengthy and elaborate descriptions. I can think of another reason to let "stroke rehabilitation" separately : there exists a broad range of chemical and metabolic insults that cause strokes, although a stroke is, of course, by convention, a vascular accident. You can consult Glutaric acidemia type 1 for an overview of the problem of chemical strokes. Check the work by Morton, an Albert Schweitzer laureate. Pierre-Alain Gouanvic 06:04, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

There is a little information at brain healing that might (or might not) overlap with this article. WhatamIdoing (talk) 21:54, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
