Efficacy of modern rehabilitation methods after stroke

This review aims to systematize modern rehabilitation methods after a stroke to identify the most effective approaches based on an analysis of scientific literature. The analysis covers clinical studies and reviews dedicated to various rehabilitation methods, including physiotherapy, functional electrical myostimulation, kinesiotherapy, pharmacological approaches, cognitive therapy, as well as the use of cutting-edge technologies such as virtual reality and robotic systems. Aspects of psychological support and social adaptation are also explored. The review shows that the comprehensive use of various rehabilitation methods, including physical exercises, cognitive stimulation, and the application of new technologies, leads to significant improvement in functional recovery in stroke patients. The application of functional electrical myostimulation, kinesiotherapy, and ultrasound therapy demonstrates particularly promising results in improving motor skills and reducing spasticity. Cognitive rehabilitation contributes to significant improvements in memory and executive functions, while innovative technologies allow for focused and personalized approaches for each patient. The study confirms that integrating multidisciplinary approaches into the rehabilitation program after a stroke significantly enhances patients’ chances of recovery and returns them to a more fulfilling life. Future research should focus on deepening the understanding of the interaction between various methods and technologies, as well as assessing their long-term impact on patients’ quality of life.
