[Poststroke motor and cognitive impairments: clinical features and current approaches to rehabilitation].

Stroke is one of the most common neurological diseases with high morbidity, disability and mortality, which is an urgent medical and social problem. Clinically, stroke, depending on its nature and location, causes a wide range of neurological disorders, including movement disorders, as well as a variety of cognitive and neuropsychiatric disorders. There is an emerging need for new approaches to manage patients with cerebrovascular diseases during the pandemic of COVID-19. Rehabilitation measures for the correction of motor and cognitive impairments are very diverse. The use of drugs stimulating the production of neurotrophic factors is considered as a promising direction of pharmacotherapy. Cerebrolysin promotes significant regression of motor and cognitive impairments in the acute and recovery period of ischemic stroke. Based on the data of clinical studies, Cerebrolysin is included in the guidelines for the rehabilitation of patients with stroke in Canada and Germany.
