Abstract:
Plasticity is a very important characteristic of the nervous system structures, due to which it alliterates the functioning way, recompenses deranged function and adapts to new conditions caused by damage. Deranged brain circulation is very frequently caused by the arteriosclerosis which can finally cause stroke. Stroke usually appears at the age of 60-69 years, but in persons of different ages as well. The aim of rehabilitation is to ensure quality of life as much as possible. In young persons recovery after stroke is usually successful, whereas the plasticity of the nervous system is completely preserved.
