South Korea uses evidence-based Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) for stroke rehabilitation, developed by the Korean Society for NeuroRehabilitation (KSNR). These standards employ the GRADE framework to regulate motor, sensory, and cognitive recovery across primary and tertiary hospitals. This ensures consistent care for neurological patients.

Bookimed Expert Insight: While South Korea follows strict Western-style CPGs, many university hospitals integrate digital technologies. Seoul National University Bundang Hospital (SNUBH) was the world's first digital hospital. This tech-heavy approach allows for data-driven adjustments to a patient's rehabilitation plan that go beyond basic guideline requirements.

Patient Consensus: Patients in South Korea access structured pathways starting at major university hospitals before moving to specialised neurological clinics. The national health insurance covers these essential physical therapy expenses, making long-term recovery more manageable.
