[Physical therapy in apoplexy].
Within the complex medical rehabilitation of patients with apoplexia physiotherapy occupies an important position. The individual functional kinesitherapy on neurophysiological basis shall begin immediately after the acute pathological process. The electrotherapy may be used in the laxly as well as spastically paralysed muscle. In the early phase by this means the gradually developing spasticity and the muscle atrophies are diminished. The cryotherapy reduces the tonus of the spastic muscles and provides better prerequisites for the kinesitherapy. The work therapy has the task to restore the fine motoricity of the diseased hand and to make the patient again independent in the activities of daily life.
