[The hemodynamic effects of transcerebral electro- and electromagnetotherapy in stroke patients]

The results of a 10-year prospective trial of physiotherapeutic factors in 350 convalescents after cerebral stroke are reviewed. Nonspecific aspects of mechanisms of therapeutic action of transcerebral physiotherapy (development of collateral circulation and cerebral hemodynamic reserve) and specific ones seen primarily in extracranial parts of major head arteries are shown.
