Stroke is a growing health problem not only in the world, but also in Croatia. Today, it is one of the leading causes of disability, dementia and mortality. This condition occurs when the cerebral circulation is disturbed. When the blood flow to the brain is stopped in any way, due to a rupture or blockage of a blood vessel, damage to the surrounding tissue occurs and the development of a focal deficit. According to the mechanism of occurrence, stroke is divided into ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke. Risk factors for stroke are numerous. Some of them cannot be influenced, however there are a number of factors that can be influenced if acted upon adequately and preventively. Symptoms that occur during a stroke are impaired motor skills and speech, headaches, dizziness, loss of vision, balance and psychoneurological problems. The diagnosis of stroke is made on the basis of anamnesis and neuroradiological examinations. The success of a person's recovery depends on the location and size of the damage, but also on timely treatment. Early rehabilitation is key to recovering neurological deficits. But it is important to emphasize that recovery is lengthy and depends on the patient, family, and health care providers. The consequences of a stroke are numerous, so a multidisciplinary team of experts is involved in rehabilitation. Physiotherapist plays a major role in the rehabilitation of motor deficits. Today's principles of neurorehabilitation are based on the theory of neuroplasticity. In rehabilitation, certain concepts and techniques are used that can improve the patient's condition, and the Bobath concept, Vojta and PNF are most often used. The effectiveness of these techniques has been proven by numerous studies, and robotic neurorehabilitation is increasingly being used around the world.
