We analyzed treatment results of 120 stroke patients. The functional rehabilitation was followed up using Barthel, Lindmark and Merton and Sutton scales, cognitive functions were assessed with the MMSE scale and the battery of frontal dysfunction, psychoemotional condition with the Beck Depression Questionnaire. Moreover, treatment efficacy has been evaluated by the absence of NS signs.
