Introduction: Stroke is a serious health problem in the modern population. Spasticity is one of the consequences of stroke and affects about 30% of people. Increased muscle tone affects postural control disorders. Due to the specificity of spasticity, therapy in post-stroke patients is a challenge for neurological physiotherapy. Therefore, it requires the development of appropriate management standards . Study aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of 3 combination therapy cycles based on botulinum toxin injection and physiotherapy for muscle tone, muscle strength and postural stability in post-stroke patients qualified for the spasticity treatment programme of the lower and upper limbs. Material and methods: The pilot study involved 12 patients (6 from the lower limb and 6 from the upper limb programme). The 1-year combination therapy programmes included 3 botulinum toxin injections and 3 weeks of physiotherapy after each injection. Clinical evaluation was conducted before and after the 1-year observation cycle. The results were evaluated using: MAS (Modified Ashworth Scale), MRC (Medical Research Council Scale) and posture stability test on a balance platform (BiodexSD). Results: A decrease was observed in muscle tone of the lower and upper limbs, as well as an increase in muscular strength of the upper limb. However, there were no noted statistical significance of the studied parameters. Conclusions: Physiotherapy in combination with the botulinum toxin is an important element of improvement in post-stroke patients. However, further research is needed to explicitly confirm its effectiveness.

Background: stroke is a disorder of nervous system function that occurs suddenly and is caused by brain bleeding disorders that can affect the quality of life physical dimensions, social dimensions, psychological dimensions, environmental dimensions. Based on the result of Lumbu study (2015) the number of samples were 71 people collected data using the (WHOQOL-BREF). There were 56 people (78,9%) had the poor quality of life of post stroke. The mean of post-stroke quality of life domain was physical domain (45,27%), psychological domain (49,87%), social relations domain (48,15%) and environmental domain (50.01%). Objective: the purpose of the study was know the quality of life of the stroke patients in Outpatient Polyclinic of Private Hospital in Yogyakarta. Methods: used descriptive quantitative by using questionnaire test of purposive sampling system based on patients who have been affected of ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke before, number 30 respondents. Result: quality of life of stroke patient of medium physical dimension (67%), psychological dimension (71%), social dimension (67%), dimension good environment (63%). Conclusion: the quality of life of stroke patients of physical dimension, psychological dimension, and moderate social dimension, while the quality of life of stroke patients were good environmental dimension.   Keywords: Hemorrhagic stroke, ischemic stroke, quality of life

Despite significant advances in the treatment and rehabilitation of stroke, level of post-stroke disability remains at a fairly high level. Recent innovative developments in the rehabilitation of these patients provide good results in terms of functional outcome. One of such developments is method of virtual reality (VR), which affects not only the speed and volume of regaining movement, as well as coordination, but also normalizes the psycho-emotional background, increasing the motivation of patients to improve the recovery process. This article provides a literature review of the use of the VR method in the rehabilitation of post-stroke patients, neurophysiological aspects of recovery of lost functions using this method are considered.
