REHABILITATION FOR THE RESTORATION OF MOTOR SKILLS AND SENSITIVE FUNCTIONS IN NEUROLOGICAL PATIENTS

Abstract

The relevance of the problem of ischemic stroke (IS) in young people (18-45 years) is primarily determined by the difference between its causes and those in older age groups, the recognition of which requires special laboratory and instrumental studies and is often associated with considerable difficulties. The urgency of the problem is also indicated by the high frequency of cryptogenic stroke (15-40%), stroke of unknown etiology. In addition, the causes of IS have changed in recent years. Thus, the successes in the treatment of rheumatism achieved in the last century have led to the fact that cardiogenic cerebral artery embolisms caused by rheumatic heart valve damage, previously the main cause of IS at a young age, are now uncommon. Finally, socio-economic factors associated with the young age of patients, as well as the tendency to increase IS at a young age, are of no small importance.

In this regard, the issue of developing high-tech rehabilitation equipment remains relevant to restore motor and sensory functions in patients with neurological diseases.
