Cardio-cerebrovascular disease is a very common and serious disease in today's society

As China enters an aging society, the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases continues to rise, especially the incidence of stroke is 84 per 100,000 people, ranking first among all diseases, and the mortality rate is very high. According to a survey in 1994, stroke is the cause of urban death The first place is the third cause of death in rural areas. A 2000 survey found that stroke has become the second cause of death in urban and rural areas. With the development of science and technology and the advancement of medicine, the survival rate of stroke has been greatly improved than before, but 70% -80% of survivors have varying degrees of dysfunction (motor, sensory, speech, swallowing, cognitive impairment, etc.), Become a heavy burden on the family and society.

For cerebrovascular diseases, especially for patients with hemiplegia, when there is no fundamental progress in drug treatment at this stage, the way out is rehabilitation, rather than consuming most of the patient's treatment costs for drug treatment, especially for patients with insufficient funds. Reasonable allocation of treatment costs is not only beneficial to patients, but also meaningful to patients' families and society.

According to China's current disability standards, there are currently more than 60 million disabled people in China, accounting for about 5% of the total population, and about 1/5 of families are affected and affected. With the aging of China's population, the number of elderly people over the age of 60 has exceeded 126 million and is growing at a rate of 3%. According to the World Health Organization, by 2020, the elderly population in China will reach more than 250 million. Relevant information shows that about 50% of elderly patients need rehabilitation medical services. In addition, due to changes in the disease spectrum, old chronic disease is more prominent, and many of them have dysfunction.

Therefore, our whole society must pay attention to neurorehabilitation, because we are about to enter a new era of neurorehabilitation.
