Abstract

Provision of a continuous, comprehensive and intensive program of motor rehabilitation to patients with spastic paresis remains a significant problem in the organization of outpatient rehabilitation. The GSC 'I-CAN' program is aimed at three main pathological components of spastic paresis: paresis, spasticity and muscle contracture. Moreover, detailed guides and a mobile application with video instructions allow the patient to perform the exercises on their own at home. The article describes the elements of the home rehabilitation program GSC 'I-CAN' and their rationale, represents an overview of clinical studies and describes our experience of working with the program.
