Abstract

The article reports the results of clinical and physiological studies of 93 patients presenting with post-infarction cardiosclerosis and sings of cerebrovascular disease. The experience with the application of the combined rehabilitative treatment including therapeutic physical exercises is based on the results of the observation of two groups of the patients. Those of the study group performed special physical exercises designed to act on brain hemodynamics. The patients of the control group used traditional therapeutic exercises usually prescribed to those suffering from coronary artery disease. It was shown that the treatment including therapeutic physical exercises offered to the patients of the study group has an advantage of the significant positive impact on haemodynamics and functional activity of the brain; moreover, it reduces the severity of cardio-vascular cerebral symptoms and thereby contributes to complete rehabilitation of the patients with post-infarction cardiosclerosis.
