Abstract

There is no „golden method” which allows for quick improvement of the patient after a stroke. Certainly post-stroke rehabilitation means rehabilitation of a modern, comprehensive, versatile, started early, continued in the place of residence and implemented by a highly trained team of rehabilitation. Individual members of this team are committed to achieving the specific targets depending on the individual and the current needs of the individual patient. No patient must be deprived of the right to rehabilitation. There should be an individualized rehabilitation program with consistently pursued individual points, so that the center of attention was the patient's problems and deficits. Any therapeutic action should be aimed at improving functional capacity and self-service of the patient, and thus the quality of life. In the early stage of stroke, all patients should be treated as if they had a chance to regain full physical activity.
