Abstract
The present paper is an attempt to characterize the profile of a patient referred for neurological rehabilitation.
The research material included data collected from nine units of intramural neurological rehabilitation which had signed contracts with the Lodz Voivodeship Department of the National Health Fund.
The analysis of research material with respect to the age of patients undergoing neurological rehabilitation has shown that the most commonly rehabilitated patients were those aged between 56-75 which constitutes 59.74% of all patients.
The research has shown that the most commonly reported diagnosis was “spastic hemiplegia” (40.58% of all patients) and “hemiplegia, unspecified” (21.19% of all patients).

Key words:
neurological rehabilitation, main diagnoses
