[Prevention of contractures in post-stroke arthropathies]
Abstract
Arthropathies develop in 15-20% of post-stroke paresis patients. A complex of rehabilitative measures including physical therapy (transcutaneous stimulation analgesia, heating etc.), kinesitherapy and anabolic hormones can prevent contractures if applied at the early rehabilitative stage.
