Abstract
Purpose: To monitor the effect of kinesitherapy on the functional capabilities of patients after ischemic stroke (IS).
Material and methods: We studied 23 patients of average age of 57.1 ± 8.8 years after supratentorial IS, with severity of paresis according to Chedoke-McMaster - 4th stage and disease duration 1.4 ± 0.5 months. For the purpose of the study, functional independence test (FIM) and a Berg balance scale (BBS) were used. The applied kinesitherapy is based on the advanced principles of modern neurorehabilitation: to be individual, intensive and specifically oriented; and the principles of motor learning: task specificity, active patient participation, repetition, adaptation of complexity, feedback and variability / contextual intervention.
Results: The study shows that the applied kinesitherapy permanently improves the functional independence, the static and dynamic balance of the patients after IS, and the results are most recognizable in the 1st month of treatment (p <0.001).
Conclusion: Applying one-month therapy with specialized therapeutic exercises improves functional capabilities of patients with IS compared to their baseline condition.
