To trace the role of specialized kinesitherapy in patients with ischemic stroke (IMI). Contingent and methods: The study was conducted with 67 patients with supratentorial unilateral stroke in the chronic period (56 patients included in the experimental group - 32 men and 24 women with a disease duration of 7.8 ± 2.0 months, and 11 patients in the control group - 9 men and 2 women with a disease duration of 7.3 ± 1.5 months). The early (10th day) and late (1st month) effect of the application of the specialized kinesitherapy technique in patients with chronic hemiparesis is evaluated, in comparative aspect with the control group, which is on conventional kinesitherapy, on: the functional possibilities for motor convalescence, equilibrium possibilities, kinetic parameters of gait and orthostatic reactivity. Results: The present study shows that the role of the applied 10-day specialized kinesitherapy in clinical settings, continued later as an adapted program for home administration, permanently improves the functional capabilities for motor recovery, equilibrium capabilities, gait kinetic parameters and orthostatic reactivity of patients with IMI, and the results are maximal at 1 month of treatment (p |
