The authors have developed a rehabilitation system intended for patients with different cerebrovascular diseases. The system covers initial manifestations of insufficiency of the cerebral blood supply, transient disorders of the cerebral blood circulation, as well as acute, restorative and residual periods of the stroke. The system is being realized in territorial polyclinics, neurologic departments of city hospitals, rehabilitative inpatient centres and polyclinics. Regular medical check-ups constitute the initial and conclusive stage of the system. The system makes it possible to resolve the questions concerning the prophylaxis of stroke, as well as of its complications and recurrences. Methodologically the organization of the therapeutic process is based on principles of rehabilitation which bring together medical, social, and psychological measures. Clinical, social, and occupational outcome suggest a high efficacy of the system and advisability of its wide introduction into clinical practice.
