title: [Neurorehabilitation of the hemiplegic. Short-term clinical study].
abstract: The hemiplegic patients, hospitalized for focal vascular encephalopathy, have been examined and subjected to a neurorehabilitation, in order that we could estimate the possible correlations between their response to the therapy, the presence of the deficits of superior cortical functions and the anatomic lesions which gave rise to the motor deficit. The presence of aphasia, apraxia and disorder of body image give an unfavorable influence on the response to the rehabilitative therapy, similarly as what we have observed in the patients who presented symptoms of a spread neuropsychologic compromission, correlable at CT scan with a positive result of ischemic-atrophia. The younger patients, probably better adduced reasons for the treatment and with less incidence of plurifocal lesions, show a better clinical progress.
