Modern paradigms of motor control and rehabilitation are analyzed in the paper. Two main paradigms, i. e. computational approach and dynamical system approach are engaged in rivalry in motor control and learning research at present. From the standpoint of computational paradigm the principal mechanism of motor control and learning consists in the ability of the brain “to calculate” (acting as some kind of biological computer). According to the paradigm of dynamical systems the mechanism of motor control is time dependent. In other words, it can be different each time. The main principles of motor control and properties of movements are given considerable attention in the paper. Besides, modern methods of motor rehabilitation after stroke are emphasized in the paper. Fitting of neuroprosthesis and restoration of damaged neural cells are significant maiden steps in modern science. The scientists are engaged in search for: a) constraining such mechanism prosthesis that would submit to the efforts of human will and b) restoring neural cells damaged because of the brain stroke suffered.Keywords: motor control, rehabilitation, stroke.

By the end of World War II, independent of one another (and sometimes in mutual ignorance), a small assortment of highly creative minds—mathematicians, engineers, physicists, astronomers, and even an actuary, some working in solitary mode, some in twos or threes, others in small teams, some backed by corporations, others by governments, many driven by the imperative of war—had developed a shadowy shape of what the elusive Holy Grail of automatic computing might look like. They may not have been able to define a priori the nature of this entity, but they were beginning to grasp how they might recognize it when they saw it. Which brings us to the nature of a computational paradigm. Ever since the historian and philosopher of science Thomas Kuhn (1922–1996) published The Structure of Scientific Revolutions (1962), we have all become ultraconscious of the concept and significance of the paradigm, not just in the scientific context (with which Kuhn was concerned), but in all intellectual and cultural discourse. A paradigm is a complex network of theories, models, procedures and practices, exemplars, and philosophical assumptions and values that establishes a framework within which scientists in a given field identify and solve problems. A paradigm, in effect, defines a community of scientists; it determines their shared working culture as scientists in a branch of science and a shared mentality. A hallmark of a mature science, according to Kuhn, is the emergence of a dominant paradigm to which a majority of scientists in that field of science adhere and broadly, although not necessarily in detail, agree on. In particular, they agree on the fundamental philosophical assumptions and values that oversee the science in question; its methods of experimental and analytical inquiry; and its major theories, laws, and principles. A scientist “grows up” inside a paradigm, beginning from his earliest formal training in a science in high school, through undergraduate and graduate schools, through doctoral work into postdoctoral days. Scientists nurtured within and by a paradigm more or less speak the same language, understand the same terms, and read the same texts (which codify the paradigm).
