After a stroke, sensory-motor damage, cognitive impairments, and emotional problems can significantly impact an individual's level of functioning. These issues often persist for an extended period, necessitating long-term care for patients with stroke. Although some recovery may occur through acute management in the hospital, functional limitations may still remain. Therefore, it is crucial to implement community-based management even after the patient is discharged from the hospital. Professional rehabilitation within the community has been shown to aid in restoring independence and improving the performance of daily activities, thus enhancing functional recovery for patients with stroke. Stroke rehabilitation experts play a vital role in promoting functional activities as integral members of the community-based stroke rehabilitation (CBSR) services. To achieve this, an optimal treatment program should be established based on knowledge and evidence of the components and application models of the CBSR services. The CBSR services have proven effective in restoring function and providing healthcare for patients with stroke, helping to reduce the burden on both patients and caregivers, as well as lower overall medical costs. The successful implementation of the CBSR relies on providing flexible, patient-tailored services that are cost-effective and adhere to evidence-based stroke rehabilitation guidelines. Addressing challenges related to the CBSR application can be accomplished through further research, focusing on essential factors required to deliver evidence-based treatment in real-world settings. To ensure the application of optimal the CBSR services, additional studies should be conducted to determine the appropriate intensity and duration of professional stroke treatment in the community.
