The leading cause of cerebrovascular disease, cerebral apoplexy, is by far one of the three conditions that pose the greatest risk to human health. With the trend toward an elderly society, cerebral apoplexy research has advanced incredibly quickly in recent years. Bibliometric analysis is used in the current investigation to assess trends in this sector. Articles were searched for in the Web of Science (subsequently referred to as WOS) database up until January 20, 2023. Bibliographic details, including country, institution, journal, author, citation, and keywords, of the chosen publications were automatically converted and analyzed using the Bibliometric software program. For this analysis, 3 617 articles were chosen from 1971 to 2023 in total. Thirteen articles received more than 100 citations overall, according to the citation analysis. Based on a Bibliometric examination of the literature used in this study, it could be seen that China (256 articles), Japan (366 articles), and the United States (1127 articles) provided the most publications. The most publications came from Northern University (164 records, 4.53% of articles). Levin, MF was the most productive author, with 40 papers (1.11% of the articles). These articles were published in 667 journals, most of which (145, or 4.01% of the articles) were published in the Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. The curve is particularly prominent for the keywords “hemiparesis,” “rehabilitation,” and “stroke.” The effects of cerebral apoplexy-causing hemiparesis and the efficiency of interventions, particularly restorative therapies, are anticipated to be the main topics of future research.
