[Use of portable biotechnological feedback devices in a system of active rehabilitative therapy in patients with post-stroke movement disorders].

The authors present an adaptive biotraining technique employing automatic portable devices designed for post-stroke patients with secondary motor disturbances. The principal feasibility of a directed central reorganization and formation of new motoric skills in post-stroke patients with the paresis of upper extremities is demonstrated. The principles of correcting motor disturbances, developed for this cohort of patients, have enabled the authors to theoretically substantiate and introduce into clinical practice this effective method of functional therapy based on the active mobilization of brain reserves.

[Forms and method of rehabilitation therapy and social-occupational rehabilitation of patients with the sequelae of cerebrovascular diseases].

The authors give some data on restitutional therapy of 516 patients (400 with sequelae following strokes and 116 with transient disorders of cerebral circulation). Treatment of the first group was made in a neurological ward, the second--in a cardiological sanatorium. The programme of restitutional therapy provided the use of psychosocial and biological methods, an appeal to the personality and stage-by-stage accomplishment of rehabilitative measures.
