Автори зазначають, що інсульт - гостре порушення мозкового кровообігу. Розрізняють ішемічний інсульт
(інфаркт мозку, розм'якшення головного мозку), що є наслідком блокади кровоносних судин у згустку крові або емболії, що
в них вносяться, і геморагічні (кровотечі). Метою фізичної реабілітації жінок після ішемічного інсульту є відновлення
порушених функцій і розвиток компенсаторних механізмів рухової активності хворих для їхньої фізичної й соціальної адаптації.
Today in Ukraine, as in other countries of the world, there is a tendency to increase the number of neurological diseases. In
the structure of neurological pathology, the most relevant and socially significant are vascular diseases of the brain, among which the
leading place is occupied, acute cerebrovascular disorder - cerebral stroke.
Stroke - acute violation of cerebral circulation. Distinguish ischemic stroke (cerebral infarction, brain softening), which is a
consequence of blockage of blood vessels in the blood clot or embolism inserted in them and hemorrhagic (hemorrhage). In the focal
point of injury, nerve cells and their elements are deprived of food, compressed by hemorrhage, perish or their function is severely
disrupted. The causes of this formidable disease are often hypertension, atherosclerosis of the brain vessels, mental and physical
strain, infection, intoxication.
The incidence of stroke increases with increasing age of patients. This is a disease of people predominantly of middle and
elderly. In people aged 60 or more, the frequency of stroke is equal to the frequency of coronary heart disease, and in people over
70 years of age, the prevalence of cerebral stroke is higher than the incidence of coronary heart disease.
Questions of the restoration of motor functions in patients who suffered a cerebral stroke were dealt with by many domestic
and foreign researchers. However, the problem of rehabilitation of patients with motor disorders remains poorly understood. In a
number of domestic methods of restorative treatment of patients does not take into account modern data on the mechanisms of
motion construction and the development of sustainable motor skills, not specified methods of physical rehabilitation of patients in a
separate period of the disease.
