Stroke, one of the common neurological diseases, is a leading cause of long-term disability. About 17 million people suffer a stroke each year with an incidence of about 250/100000/year worldwide. The number of survivors doubled between 1990 and 2010, and will reach 77 million by 2030 according to epidemiological projections [1, 2]. Stroke is a main cause of long-term disability often causing permanent disability in the upper and/or lower limbs. More than 75% of individuals lose their ability to walk after stroke [3,4] and intense rehabilitation treatments are required to reduce disability effects and to recover most of the lost functionalities.

The number of survivors doubled between 1990 and 2010, and will reach 77 million by 2030 according to epidemiological projections [1, 2]. Stroke is a main cause of long-term disability often causing permanent disability in the upper and/or lower limbs.
