Neurorehabilitation has witnessed remarkable strides in recent years, with an increasing recognition of the pivotal role that family plays in the rehabilitation process. In this editorial, we explore the paradigm shift towards family-based neurorehabilitation and its implications for fostering holistic patient care [1].

Traditionally, neurorehabilitation primarily focused on individualized therapeutic interventions. However, the evolving understanding of neurological disorders emphasizes the intricate interplay between an individual's condition and their familial environment. Recognizing the impact of family dynamics on rehabilitation outcomes has led to a more inclusive and comprehensive approach [2].

Family-based neurorehabilitation involves active collaboration between healthcare professionals, patients, and their families. This collaborative model acknowledges the crucial role families play in providing support, motivation, and a conducive environment for recovery. Engaging families in the rehabilitation process empowers them to contribute meaningfully to the patient's journey toward recovery [3].

The benefits of a family-centric approach extend beyond the emotional support provided. Families serve as a bridge between clinical interventions and daily life, facilitating the seamless integration of rehabilitation strategies into the patient's routine. This integration enhances the sustainability and effectiveness of neurorehabilitation programs [2,3].

Moreover, involving families in the rehabilitation process fosters a deeper understanding of the patient's condition, challenges, and progress. This heightened awareness enables families to actively participate in decision-making, tailoring interventions to meet the unique needs of the individual. As a result, the rehabilitation process becomes more personalized and adaptive, optimizing outcomes and promoting long-term well-being [4,5].

International collaboration in research and clinical practice is crucial for advancing family-based neurorehabilitation. Sharing diverse experiences and best practices across borders allows for a richer understanding of cultural nuances and diverse family structures. This global perspective is instrumental in developing universally applicable frameworks that enhance the inclusivity and effectiveness of family-centric neurorehabilitation programs.

In conclusion, embracing a family-centric approach in neurorehabilitation represents a paradigmatic shift that aligns with the evolving understanding of neurological disorders. By recognizing and harnessing the supportive role of families, we can redefine the landscape of neurorehabilitation, promoting comprehensive and sustainable pathways to recovery. This editorial calls for continued international collaboration to refine and implement family-based neurorehabilitation strategies, ultimately improving the quality of care and outcomes for individuals facing neurological challenges worldwide.
