Abstract: The National Natural Science Foundation of China is one of the major funding agencies for neurorehabilitation research in China. This study reviews the frontier directions and achievements in the field of neurorehabilitation in China and worldwide. We used data from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database to analyze the publications and data provided by the National Natural Science Foundation of China to analyze funding information. In addition, the prospects for neurorehabilitation research in China are discussed. From 2010 to 2022, a total of 74,220 publications in neurorehabilitation were identified, with there being an overall upward tendency. During this period, the National Natural Science Foundation of China has funded 476 research projects with a total funding of 192.38 million RMB to support neurorehabilitation research in China. With the support of the National Natural Science Foundation of China, China has made some achievements in neurorehabilitation research. Research related to neurorehabilitation is believed to be making steady and significant progress in China.
