ABSTRACT
Sensory‑motor disorders of the upper limb which accompany hemiparesis lead to difficulties in performing precise operations, disturb self‑maintenance and fine motor or manipulating skills. Such disorders can arise due to damages of the central nervous system caused among others by subarachnoid hemorrhages and as a result of complications during its treatment. The article presents the case of 39‑year‑old female with pyramidal, left‑sided hemiparesis resulting from the intracerebral hemorrhage from a rupture of cerebral aneurysms of the connecting anterior artery. Neurosurgical treatment with embolization resulted in secondary disease – ischemic stroke in the callosal commissure. The article focuses on a comprehensive rehabilitation of the patient which took place in the Rehabilitation Hospital with the Sub‑Department of Neurological Rehabilitation of the Military Medical Institute. The rehabilitation process was supported by the use of percutaneous stimulation of sensory endings (rSS) method, using TIPSTIM device in order to strengthen the brain plasticity processes and improve treatment effectiveness.
