Abstract

As a result of the constantly growing number of people in the World, disabilities became one of the most important aspects related to human health. According to the World Health Organization, a disabled person is “anyone who affects a reduction in performance or fitness in the construction or functioning of the body in terms of psychological, physical or anatomical.” On a global scale, the main cause of acquired motor disability is ischemic stroke. Therefore, it is essential to look for solutions that will help people with disabilities to rejoice as much independence and health as possible. For this purpose, the library databases of universities in Poland, units and scientific institutes from Poland, as well as the most popular databases—PubMed and Google Scholar were searched. As a result of the queries, 1057 records were obtained, which, according to the adopted criteria, only 24 were selected for further analysis. The main focus of the presented study was on issues related to supporting both diagnostics and therapy. Methods such as the use of basic devices for drainage and uprightization, walking trainers and multimodal platforms, biomechanical devices—exoskeletons and the use of virtual reality in the rehabilitation process were addressed.
