Stroke is one of the most common causes of disability and requires long-term rehabilitation to restore lost functions. Modern technologies such as virtual reality (VR), robotics, and neurostimulationrepresent a new approach to neurorehabilitation, enabling improved treatment outcomes and improving the quality of life of patients after a stroke.

Virtual reality is used to create immersive environments that help patients restore motor functions and improve motor coordination. This approach is particularly effective in customizing training sessions based on the clinical needs of each patient.

Robotics plays a key role in physical rehabilitation, providing patients with the opportunity to perform intensive and controlled training aimed at restoring motor skills. Robotic devices can adapt to the patient's level and progress, ensuring maximum efficiency of rehabilitation processes.

Neurostimulation, including transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and deep brain stimulation (DBS), is used to modulate brain activity and stimulate damaged neural networks. These technologies have shown potential to improve functional and cognitive performance in patients after stroke, especially in cases where traditional rehabilitation methods are not effective enough.

The integration of modern technologies into complex treatment after stroke requires not only technical improvement of the devices, but also further clinical studies to assess their long-term impact on the results of rehabilitation. However, existing data already support the potential of these technologies to significantly improve functional recovery and daily independence in patients with stroke consequences.

Thus, the prospects for using modern technologies in neurorehabilitation after stroke are an important direction in the development of medical practice, contributing to improving the quality of life of millions of people around the world who are faced with this serious disease.
