These include problems with movement, balance, paralysis, limb tremor, sensory disturbances, speech, hearing and other problems. It is crucial to start rehabilitation as soon as possible after a stroke.

Prompt initiation of post-stroke rehabilitation is aimed at getting the patient back to the level of function and independence they had before the stroke (haemorrhagic or ischaemic). Prompt diagnosis, followed by prognostic and functional assessment, planning of rehabilitation and implementation of rehabilitation play a very important role.

The central nervous system after stroke is repaired by, among other things, compensating, restoring function or shaping function anew. Rehabilitation requires a specific course of action.

Initially it must be carried out under the supervision of qualified personnel, later, if possible, by people close to the patient. Exercises, their duration or their sequence must never be changed. If the prepared rehabilitation does not work, it can be changed completely. Music therapy, occupational therapy, water therapy and many others are used for rehabilitation purposes.

When we talk about rehabilitation, the focus is not only on improving movement (the patient's physical issues), but also speech, swallowing and emotional and mental problems. The key role of post-stroke rehabilitation in a broad sense is the patient's locomotion, independence and self-care.

Rehabilitation must never be interrupted without the consultation and agreement of a qualified person and doctor. Sometimes it must be continued for up to several months.
