[Community-based rehabilitation of patients with nervous system damage]. / Rehabilitacja srodowiskowa chorych z uszkodzeniem ukladu nerwowego.

495 patients with stroke were rehabilitated after discharge from hospital. From January 1st 1993 to December 31st 1997 they were included in community based rehabilitation (CBR) programme. We rehabilitated 12-14 patients monthly. In the therapeutic team were: physician, two physiotherapist and social worker. We received financial support from PHARE programme, National Fund of Rehabilitation for Disabled, Health Ministry and the local authorities. Now it is the most cost-effective home-based rehabilitation system in Poland.
