In this lecture, Professor Elena Anatolyevna Katunina examines key aspects of post-stroke disorders, including movement disorders (hemiparesis, spasticity, apraxia) and cognitive dysfunctions (dementia, neglect syndrome). The lecturer provides statistics, explains the mechanisms of pathology development and offers rehabilitation methods.

Main topics of the lecture:

  • Stroke and its consequences – why do only 10-20% of patients return to their previous lives?
  • Movement disorders – from classic hemiparesis to rare syndromes (for example, “alien hand”).
  • Cognitive impairment – how does stroke affect memory, attention and thinking?
  • Diagnostics and rehabilitation – what tests detect apraxia and neglect syndrome?
  • Treatment – the role of neuroprotective therapy (Mexidol) in recovery.

Key takeaway: Stroke is not only an acute episode but also a long-term rehabilitation process that requires a comprehensive approach to motor and cognitive impairment.
