**1. Introduction**

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) deemed the COVID-19 outbreak a public health emergency of global significance. Since then, there has been a sharp increase in the pandemic's transmission and spread. Different strategies have been used to halt the infection's spread. Those impacted by the post-COVID-19 infection have had long-lasting effects of varying intensities. The postpandemic severity levels appear to have had a negative impact on people's general quality of life. The incidence of stroke is currently one of the most common post-COVID consequences observed and studied. Stroke is a crippling ailment that ranks as the second greatest cause of mortality and a significant contributor to disability globally. Along with premorbid health traits and lifestyle, its incidence rises with age. The rise of cerebrovascular events (CVE) linked to COVID-19 is a new finding. Following COVID-19 infection, acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is now a serious consequence. In order to treat such diseases, rehabilitation is essential.

Recovery from an infection or trauma requires a multi-disciplinary team approach known as rehabilitation. The main essential concepts of rehabilitation are to enable maximal function, enable return to employment, enable safe departure from the hospital to home, and facilitate reintegration into the community. In order to achieve the best results, rehabilitation goals in such a vulnerable population must be carefully evaluated and tailored. The necessity and demand for the right intervention are highest due to the rise in post-COVID stroke cases. This enables the fields of study and rehabilitation to examine the requirements and effects brought on by the illness. The consequences and repercussions of the illness have been the subject of numerous researches recently. However, the need for rehabilitation is brought on by the various clinical presentations. Investigating how the rehabilitation process might assist and permit enough functioning in such a vulnerable population becomes extremely important as a result.
