Strength of knee flexors of the paretic limb as an important determinant of functional status in post-stroke rehabilitation.

Objective: The purpose of the study was to assess the effectiveness of the multi-modal exercise program (MMEP) in patients after stroke, and to identify muscles that are the best predictors of functional performance and changes in functional status in a 3-week rehabilitation program.

Methods: Thirty-one post-stroke patients (60.6±12.

[Patients' knowledge regarding modifiable risk factors of stroke].

Unlabelled: Regular physical activity constitutes effective measure of both primary and secondary protection against modern-age diseases. The aim of the paper was to assess the level of patients' knowledge regarding the influence of low physical activity and other modifiable risk factors affecting the increase in stroke occurrence in early stages of rehabilitation (day 9 after the cerebrovascular accident).
