title: [Results of rehabilitation after ischemic cerebrovascular stroke].
abstract: The results of the prospective study of functional recovery after ischemic stroke in 50 patients are presented. Rehabilitation program was performed in the "Special hospital for medical rehabilitation Varazdinski Toplice", after an average of 18-day treatment at a neurological department. Rehabilitation team included: physiatrist, logopedist, psychologist, nurse, physiotherapist, occupational therapist, neurologist, internist and urologist. At admission and upon completed rehabilitation the patients were evaluated by "Functional independence measure" (FIM). Descriptive statistical methods were used in data analysis. The highest grades of recovery were achieved in sphincter control and general mobility. We advocate team work with individual approach to patient rehabilitation, and employment of FIM.
