| Summary: | Brain insult is one of the main medical – social problems of current concern, both due to the high death-rate and severe residual physical disability caused by this illness.
So far, one of the rehabilitation program elements, very widely discussed as a measure helping to recover functional independence of patients suffering from the after-effects of insult, is kinesitherapy. Implementation of the applied physical training in rehabilitation is not widely discussed yet.
The objective of this study is to analyze the efficiency of educational experimental motor training program in the development of functional independence.
Tasks of this study are as follows:
• To assess the functional state of patients suffering from the effects of insult before rehabilitation;
• To develop an education kinetic training program;
• To assess the change functional state indicators at the end of rehabilitation period.
• To assess the efficiency of experimental educational motor training program.
This research has been conducted in a Public Institution Mazeikiai Hospital, in the department of in-patient rehabilitation, from 30 September 2004 to 29 December 2005. 80 brain insult patients were covered by this study. All of them were subdivided into two groups of 40 individuals in each: comparison group (CG) and experimental group (EG). A therapy of physical exercises was applied to the control group, while the experimental group underwent experimental educational motor training program.
