Rehabilitation of patients with neurological and cardiopulmonary conditions such as stroke, Parkinson’s disease, and chronic respiratory disorders is essential for improving functional outcomes and quality of life. Multimodal rehabilitation strategies, which integrate physical therapy, occupational therapy, respiratory training, and cognitive exercises, have shown promise in enhancing recovery. This paper evaluates the effectiveness of multimodal rehabilitation in improving motor function, cardiopulmonary capacity, and symptom reduction in patients with these conditions. A thorough literature review identifies key methodologies and outcomes reported before 2021. Data analysis and comparative evaluation are presented through charts and tables to highlight trends and improvements in patient recovery. The findings underscore the importance of an integrated approach to rehabilitation and suggest potential areas for further research and clinical refinement.
