MODERN ASPECTS OF MEDICAL REHABILITATION OF PATIENTS WITH ISCHEMIC STROKE

The task of healthcare and medical science is to preserve and strengthen the health of the population, prolong life expectancy and efficiency of individuals. One of the leading causes of death and disability of the population is an acute cerebrovascular accident. Stroke is one of the most serious and widespread medical problems in modern society. Due to changing lifestyles and an increase in the number of risk factors such as malnutrition, physical inactivity, hypertension and diabetes, there is a tendency to increase the number of stroke cases. An important indicator reflecting the structure of vascular diseases of the brain is the ratio between hemorrhagic and ischemic strokes. In recent decades, there has been a change in the structure of vascular diseases of the brain in favor of an increase in the number of ischemic forms. One of the most common neurological deficits after a stroke is hemiparesis, which has a significant impact on the physical, psychological, social and spiritual state of patients, having a significant impact on various aspects of their lives. This article identifies the main aspects of medical rehabilitation that affect the improvement of the quality of life of patients who have suffered an ischemic stroke.
