Abstract

Summary
This study aims to trace the influence of specialized kinesitherapeutic methodology (SKTM) on orthostatic reactivity in patients with ischemic stroke in the chronic period (ISChP).
The survey was conducted with 56 patients with ISChP (32 men and 24 women, mean age 63.2±8.8 years old, weight 77.9±10.1 kg, height 169.2±6.4 cm and duration of disease up to 1 year).
An active orthostatic test is used for the evaluation of the orthostatic reactions. The arterial blood pressure and heart rate were defined in the 10 minutes of supine position, before and after 1, 5 and 10 minutes of active upright position. All patients were treated with a specialized 10-day SKTM, which later continues to be performed by patients as an adapted exercise program at home for a period of three months. The orthostatic autoregulation is evaluated four times - at the beginning of the study, on the 10th day, on the 1st month and three months after the start of the KT. The classification of Thulesius was used to separate the patients into two groups depending on the type of their orthostatic reactivity.
Results
At the beginning of the study of infringements symptomatic type orthostatic reactivity (SOR) was observed in 24 patients and hypertensive type orthostatic reactivity (HOR) was observed in the remaining 32 patients. Once applied SKTM establish improvement of orthostatic autoregulation for the groups SOR and HOR at the 10th day and the 1st month with a level of significance p <0.05.
Conclusion
The applied specialized kinesitherapeutic methodology continued later as an adapted exercise program at home, has significantly improved the orthostatic reactivity in patients with orthostatic dysregulation due to the ISChP.
