Professor Dr. Nabil Kazem Abdul Sahib, Professor Emeritus in the Department of Biomedical Engineering, College of Engineering – Al-Nahrain University, along with Professor Dr. Mohammed Abdul Sattar from the Department of Mechanical Engineering, College of Engineering – Al-Nahrain University, and PhD researcher Mohammed Sameer from the Department of Biomedical Engineering, College of Engineering – Al-Nahrain University, took part in the proceedings of the conference.

The title of the presented research was:
“Comprehensive Approaches to Stroke Rehabilitation: Multidisciplinary Strategies and Technological Breakthroughs”

The conference was held from 28–29 August 2025. The Department of Biomedical Engineering is considered a pioneer in participating in international conferences, and its active role in this event was supported by the President of the University, Professor Dr. Ali Al-Shawi, and the Dean of the College of Engineering, Professor Dr. Iyad Murad Takhakh, who encouraged participation in this and other international conferences that support the field of specialization, as well as engineering and medical sciences in general.

The presented research offered a comprehensive review of post-stroke rehabilitation strategies, focusing on multidisciplinary approaches and modern technologies (Robotics, Virtual Reality [VR], and Telemedicine) to enhance neuroplasticity, motor function recovery, and patient engagement. It also highlighted the principles of recovery, key therapeutic programs (motor, functional, speech, and cognitive), the most important assessment tools, current challenges, and future directions.

Multidisciplinary approaches and technological advancements have significantly transformed stroke rehabilitation, giving survivors renewed hope for recovery and a better quality of life. Evidence-based rehabilitation strategies—including physical, occupational, speech, and cognitive therapies—were emphasized in this review to specifically address functional impairments following a stroke. Modern technologies such as robotic devices, virtual reality (VR), and telemedicine have revolutionized the rehabilitation process by enhancing neuroplasticity, motor recovery, and patient engagement.
