Cerebral stroke due to its prevelance and social consequences is the most seroius disease of the nervous system. In the majority of countries stroke is the third and in some countries even the second most common cause of death, listed after myocardial infarction and before cancer and inuries. Cerebral stroke causes a signifi cant deterioration of the patient's functioning and their quality of life. Rehabilitation of stroke survivours is the most signifi cant goal of neurological rehabilitation. The main aim of post-stroke rehabilitation is to help the patients regain their independence and to improve their quality of life. This review article presents contemporary possibilities of evaluating post-stroke rehabilitation. The authors mentions stroke scales, functional scales, means of assessing particular functions. Using evaluation of the quality of life in order to assess the rehabilitation results in stroke survivors has been granted special attention.

Udar mózgu ze względu na swoje rozpowszechnienie i skutki społeczne jest najpoważniejszą chorobą układu nerwowego. W większości krajów zajmuje trzecie miejsce na liście przyczyn zgonów, a w niektórych nawet drugie - za zawałami serca, a przed nowotworami i urazami. Niepełnosprawność, będąca następstwem udaru, odbija się na jakości życia chorego i jego opiekunów. Rehabilitacja osób po udarze mózgu jest najczęściej realizowanym zadaniem rehabilitacji neurologicznej. Głównym celem rehabilitacji po udarze jest odzyskanie jak największej samodzielności i w dalszej perspektywie poprawy jakości życia obniżonej wskutek choroby. W artykule przeglądowym przedstawiono aktualne możliwości oceny wyników rehabilitacji osób po udarze mózgu. Wymieniono skale udarów, skale funkcjonalne, sposoby oceny poszczególnych funkcji. Specjalną uwagę zwrócono na wykorzystanie oceny jakości życia w celu oszacowania wyników rehabilitacji osób po udarze.
