ABSTRACT
Cognitive impairment is common in poststroke patients. Today in rehabilitation programs the specialists use the vestibular stimulation including biological feedback to supporting reaction for treatment poststroke cognitive impairment. These studies show the relationship of vestibular function with memory, attention, spatial orientation, navigation, mental representation of three-dimensional space and other cognitive functions. It makes possible to build rehabilitation programs for patients with stroke.

Loss of functional activity after a stroke is a leading cause of disability in adults worldwide. Particular attention is currently being paid to post-stroke cognitive impairment. Approaches based on multimodal exposure are increasingly being used when planning rehabilitation programs, which makes it possible to comprehensively cover the entire spectrum of existing neurological disorders in patients and enables to achieve a more effective recovery of functional activity after a stroke.
