Abstract
Goal. To present the development of the bond that exist between physiotherapy and clinical neurology. Material and method. A meta-analysis of publications and events in Poland and around the world that have affected the development of neurophysiatry, and later neurorehabilitation, before and after the Decade of the Brain. Conclusion. The bond between physiotherapy and clinical neurology is continually strengthened by new discoveries in neurobiology and clinical neurophysiology.

Clinical neurophysiology and early post stroke neurorehabilitation

Ryszard Kinalski, Jan Talar – Clinical neurophysiology and early post stroke neurorehabilitation. Fizjoterapia Polska 2001; 1(1); 47-50

Abstract
The interest of the neurorehabilitation of the stroke survivors have increased in the Brain Decade. The Helsinborg Declaration and the National Program of the Stroke Prevention and Treatment recommends to organize the stroke units and to start with the physiotherapy since the first day of hospitalization. The authors justifies the usefulness of the verification of the early post stroke rehabilitation effects on the basis of the instrumented tests, that image and quantify the neuromechanisms underlying the behaviour of the movement disorders, more accurately than the stroke scales. The heuristic possibility of the repetitive electrostimulation applicability in the early post stroke neurorehabilitation was discussed.
