Subjects with brain diseases are the major conditions of neurorehabilitation. It has brought new hopes to those with neurologic problems with the development of researches in the brain and other neurology. Strategies in the neurorehabilitation are now changing. It has progressed from focusing the improvement of the limbs of patients such as neurodevelopment approaches, functional electrical stimulation, robotic training, and so on, to the brain-orientated such as non-invasive brain stimulation, virtue reality, etc. A new model of neurorehabilitation is now being developed which integrates the methods stimulating the brain with those stimulating the limbs together either simultaneously or combination to modulate the effectiveness of different modalities. The final goals are to further enhance the outcome of rehabilitation.
