- Abstract
Cerebrovascular diseases are acute or chronic symptoms and signs of focal or global neurological deficits in brain function due to congenital or acquired disorders of blood circulation, most commonly in nontraumatic vascular arteries. Cerebrovascular diseases cause a high percentage of disability and mortality among the population. Stroke, by importance and frequency, ranks first in neurological diseases, and third in mortality after cardiovascular and malignant diseases. Disability of survivors is up to 50%. Hemiplegia is а complete paralysis on one side of the body, crosswise to the damaged side of the brain hemisphere. Most common reason for hemiplegia is stroke. General symptoms include vomiting, headache, loss of consciousness up to coma, meningitic syndrome. Clinical picture of hemiplegia is develops through several stages. First stage is flaccid or and lasts 10-14 days. The second stage is chronic or spastic and happens at 2-3rd week after the stroke. The cerebrovascular stroke is diagnosed by obtaining a medical history in which dominates longlasting headache, loss of consciousness and high blood pressure. Another method of diagnose is CT. On the other hand, MRI is sensitive and selective method. It can detect vascular malformation (aneurysm). The rehabilitation should start as soon as possible in order to prevent: contractures, decubitus or other skin damage. Depending of the patients improving,we start improving the quality of daily activities: dressing, using phone feeding, personal hygiene etc. Therefore, the role of the physiotherapist in hemiplegic patient’s life is very important because he has to work with the patient completely dedicated from the earliest to the final stage of the rehabilitation.
