The problem of searching for the prognostic factors for recovery of motor dysfunction following stroke is very relevant because of the high prevalence of acute cerebrovascular events. The severe disabling sequelae of stroke are associated with the enormous economic burden all over the world, which is aggravated by the lack of customized approaches to rehabilitation with allowance for the clinical data and neuroplastic features of the brain of each individual patient. Although modern diagnostic tools, including neuroimaging, have been introduced, many potential predictors of recovery of functions lost following a cerebrovascular accident still remain to be elucidated or refined. The best-studied prognostic factors for recovery of the functions lost following ischemic stroke are reviewed in this article.

Проблема поиска прогностических факторов восстановления нарушенных функций после инсульта имеет большую актуальность в связи с высокой распространенностью острых нарушений мозгового кровообращения (ОНМК). Тяжелые инвалидизирующие последствия инсульта связаны с огромными экономическими потерями во всем мире, что усугубляется отсутствием индивидуального подхода к восстановлению с учетом клинических данных и нейропластических особенностей мозга каждого пациента. Несмотря на внедрение современных диагностических методов, в том числе нейровизуализационных, многие потенциальные предикторы восстановления утраченных функций после церебральной катастрофы остаются невыясненными или неуточненными. В статье приведен обзор наиболее изученных прогностических факторов восстановления утраченных функций после ишемического инсульта.
