Assessments of patients were performed in days of admission and discharge from hospital (average time of stay in hospital was 25 days). The studies comprised 32 patients who underwent a consecutive cerebral stroke and 16 patients rehabilitated after first cerebral stroke (control group). Rehabilitation in both group was carried out in accordance with a plan approved by the rehabilitation team. A complex rehabilitation program included kinesitherapy methods, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, psychotherapy and family education.
Results: All patients completed planned rehabilitation program. During stay in hospital no neurological symptoms of deterioration were observed. The statistical analysis of determined parameters has confirmed a positive influence of rehabilitation procedures on self-service and general physical efficiency in both groups of patients.
Conclusions: In the course of rehabilitation none of the patients has shown symptoms of neurological deterioration. In case of consecutive cerebral stroke there is no contraindication for administration of rehabilitation
