Ischemic cerebral stroke is one of the leading causes of disability among people after 40 years of age. The progress in the field of neurology associated with establishing specialist stroke units and stroke rehabilitation centers caused an improvement in prognosis in patients who suffered cerebral stroke. An increased effort to expedite access to procedures in the field of teriatry prophylaxis has been observed, with concomitant assessment of their effectiveness to improve quality of life among patients suffering from vascular event.
Aim of the study: The aim of the study was the assessment of effectiveness of applied physiotherapeutic and kinesitherapy treatment in the aspect of improving acute motor deficit and overall quality of life among patients after ischemic cerebral stroke

There were no statistically significant differences between observed degree of improvement and types of concomitant diseases, the fact whether it was a first or an another vascular event or the type of a stroke. The study showed no significant correlation between helath improvement and form of performed physiotherapy treatments, the place of rehabilitation and the type of orthopedic medical supplies being used.
