Introduction

According to the World Health Organization, stroke is a clinical syndrome consisting of the sudden appearance of focal symptoms or global brain dysfunctions, which if they do not lead to death, last more than twenty-four hours and result from vascular causes [2,3]. One of the main causes of disability in adults, both in Poland and in the world is the past, ischemic stroke.

It usually touches a male person over seventy-five. It is believed to be a disease of an old age, but it can occur at different stages of life [3]. Very often, during the period of seven years from the occurrence of the first stroke, another vascular episode (in about 30% of patients) is noted, which is associated with a significant deterioration of the patient's existing quality of life.

Reducing the risk of disability and improving the psychomotor status of a patient after a stroke allows for a quick medical diagnosis and early, long-term and comprehensive rehabilitation, primarily by the physiotherapist [1].

Aim of the study: Discussion of physiotherapy in different stages of rehabilitation after ischemic stroke.

Keywords: stroke, ischemic stroke, physiotherapy
