Rehabilitation of patients with сhronic disorders of consciousness

Abstract

Chronic disorders of consciousness is a complex medical and social problem. Rehabilitation of these patients is one of the most important tasks from both practical and scientific points of view. The lack of a standardized approach and techniques with a large evidence base in the restoration of consciousness, the need for multidisciplinary teams in the rehabilitation process, difficulties in creating a rehabilitation environment, as well as many other problems are acutely faced by patients’ relatives, doctors, healthcare organizers, scientists. In this article, we will consider approaches to the rehabilitation of patients with chronically impaired consciousness.
