Background: This article describes a three-year clinical follow-up of a 59-year-old patient with severe spastic hemiparesis after an ischemic stroke. He underwent four rehabilitation courses using high-tech rehabilitation methods and botulinum toxin therapy.
Objective: Evaluation of the significance and timeliness of rationally selecting rehabilitation measures for severe post-stroke spastic hemiparesis and the impact of rehabilitation potential on the patient’s recovery and adaptation.
Conclusion: Evaluation of rehabilitation results using clinical scales revealed a reduction in spasticity, a clinically significant increase in muscle strength in the proximal portions of the paretic arm, improved cognitive function and sleep quality, and decreased anxiety and depression. The key outcome of rehabilitation was an improvement in the patient’s quality of life and increased adaptation to the environment, which, in our opinion, is due to a strong motivational focus, timely compensation for affective disorders, and appropriately selected repeated courses of rehabilitation measures.
