[A method of differentiated evaluation of the rehabilitative potential of patients with hypertension in the recovery period after stroke].

The authors have identified 5 groups of patients with essential hypertension in the recovery period of ischemic stroke. Clinical and social characteristics of patients inside each group were assessed by the proposed evaluation scale which has made it possible to differentiated the selected groups and allowed a more objective determination of their clinicofunctional status and rehabilitative potential. The use of the proposed method of a score evaluation in expert medical examination of working capacity will make it possible already at the recovery period of stroke to predict clinical and social outcomes of the disease for each patient as well as his or her rehabilitative and occupational potential.
