USE OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES FOR THERAPY OF PATIENTS AFTER STROKE

Abstract

Consequences of stroke often require long-term and complex rehabilitation. In the therapy of motor and cognitive functions it is optimal to use conventional therapeutical approaches in combination with modern technical tools. In this type of intervention, motion sensors and visual feedback are often used. These can take the form of a game to increase patient's motivation. For home monitoring and auto-therapy there are solutions in the form of wearable and interactive telerehabilitation devices. This article summarizes the overview of technological tools that can be used in the neurorehabilitation of patients after stroke.
