Cerebrovascular accident (CVA, stroke) is a disease that affects the central nervous system. Many people, even younger in age, have suffered the stroke, and especially in developed countries. For adults it falls into the most common causes of disability. Greater attention is now focused on medical rehabilitation, but all the elements of rehabilitation are important. The status after stroke results in physical, psychological and social consequences. Therefore, early and coordinated rehabilitation is important, since it increases the possibility of the person´s integration. The diploma thesis aims to describe particular components of coordinated rehabilitation granted to the patients after the CVA in the treatment and rehabilitation centre Chvaly. More specifically, the author tries to analyse the coherence of the individual components of coordinated rehabilitation. In the theoretical part, the author focuses at first on the definition of the CVA, follows up with a general treatise about the coordinated rehabilitation, and then she specifies coordinated rehabilitation for patients after the CVA, and briefly describes the facility under examination. To achieve the objective there has been used qualitative research, the method of questioning, the technique of a semistructured interview. The research sample includes people after the CVA, and the staff of the treatment and rehabilitation centre Chvaly, applying specific elements of rehabilitation. Research indicates that in the examined centre they use therapeutic and social elements, where the treatment dominates. The treatment center puts emphasis on self-sufficiency of a person after the CVA, working with the family and a multidisciplinary team, which is also perceived by the clients after the CVA. The results of the diploma thesis can serve as a feedback for the examined treatment centre, they can be used to improve the quality of coordinated rehabilitation.
