Stroke is the most common neurological disease, characterized by a sudden neurological disorder caused by a disorder of cerebral circulation due to insufficient supply of certain parts of the brain with oxygen and nutrients. The lack of oxygen and nutrients causes the death and damage of the nerve cells that control that part of the brain. In other words, it is the loss of brain functions. A stroke can be caused by the rupture of a blood vessel in the brain, when there is an effusion of blood in the brain, or as a result of the blockage of an artery that supplies the brain with oxygen. Some of the sudden symptoms of a stroke can be speech, vision, gait disturbances, loss of balance, dizziness, numbness of the arms, legs, and face, as well as a severe headache accompanied by nausea and vomiting. Stroke is one of the most common causes of death, and the number one cause of disability in the Republic of Croatia. The consequences of a stroke depend on the location and size of the damage. Some people have problems with physical activities such as walking, speaking, and swallowing. Other consequences are more difficult to recognize and are related to the cognitive abilities of the sufferers, such as memory loss and emotional problems. For people who experience a stroke, urgent and timely treatment is necessary and rehabilitation should begin as early as possible through a multidisciplinary approach. Physiotherapy plays a key role in the rehabilitation of patients to improve motor functions, mobility, and quality of life. Physiotherapists use different methods, such as balance and coordination exercises, proprioceptive exercises, breathing exercises, strengthening exercises, stretching, muscle stimulation, neurological techniques (Bobath, PNF), and others, as well as teaching the patient to move again during certain activities. Regular and continuous tailored physiotherapy helps patients regain functional independence, improve overall health, and reduce the risk of recurrent stroke.
