This paper is a review conducted to provide an overview of the history of the past and contemporary rehabilitation methods for patient with damaged central nerves. Neurorehabilitation is a complex medical process which an aim to facilitate a recovery from a nervous system injury, and to minimize and/or compensate for functional impairments arising from it. By focusing on all aspects of a person's wellbeing, neurorehabilitation offers a series of therapies from the psychological to occupational, teaching or re-training the patients on mobility skills, communication processes, and other aspects of that person's daily routine. Current viewpoint represents a paradigm shift in clinical intervention, and clinicians have differently considered the details of intervention for the nervous and musculoskeletal impairments. Such concepts require to see the overall history of physical therapy, we interpreted the hidden meaning in the history of physical therapy. The current and future physical therapists will be to look at the patients as a comprehensive perspective. Medical instruments have continuously been developed. However, it may not be competed by senior physical therapists working for a long time in rehabilitation field. It’s probably useless to find only a way to treat a variety of patients with neurological impairments, representing optimal effects of rehabilitation, because definite answer to the therapy does not exist and their symptoms should be handled case-by-case. Thus, we need to take the advantages of functional evaluation, and they will be integrated into intervention.
