Abstract
The influence of many factors on the recovery process after an ischemic stroke is constantly being studied, therefore, the assessment of the impact of the condition of patients in the acute period of stroke on the effectiveness of rehabilitation in the early recovery period was the subject of our study. The medical histories of 36 patients who received a course of medical rehabilitation for patients with impaired central nervous system function were analyzed. It was found that the age of patients, the size of the lesion, the assessment on the stroke severity of the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale upon admission and discharge during the acute period of the disease, the prescription of the onset of the disease in the early recovery period had correlations with the status of the patient in the early recovery period when evaluated on different scales. Assessment of the objective status of the patient in the acute period of stroke makes it possible to predict his condition in the early recovery period of stroke. The initial status of the patient at the beginning of the disease has a direct effect on the patient's condition in the early recovery period, but practically does not affect the effectiveness of rehabilitation. In our opinion, this may be due to an individual approach in setting rehabilitation goals and drawing up rehabilitation programs by specialists of a multidisciplinary rehabilitation team.
