The article is devoted to medical support of rehabilitation measures for post-stroke motor disorders. The approach to the selection of neurocytoprotectors from the positions of the concept of neuroplasticity and multimodal action is considered. The results of our own observation of the use of citicoline (Ceraxon ®) in the complex program of medical rehabilitation of patients after ischemic stroke are presented. The high efficiency of citicoline application in complex rehabilitation of patients in the early recovery period of ischemic stroke is shown in the form of improving walking function, increasing functional independence, daily activity and quality of life.Conclusions. The use of modern neurocytoprotectors in a complex of rehabilitation programs is an important and indispensable component for achieving the maximum possible results of rehabilitation aimed at improving the functioning and quality of life of patients.
