Stroke is one of the leading causes of adult disability. As indicated by numerous studies, early rehabilitation may positively affect the reduction of dysfunctions resulting from a stroke. A stroke can cause both mild and severe disabilities. In order to effectively help the patient and create a good rehabilitation program, the patient’s functional state should be determined. Therefore, functional tests should be carried out before starting the rehabilitation process. Patients should be assessed in several areas. The most frequently used are functional scales (ADL scale, Barthel index), balance and gait tests (Timed Up & Go test, Berg balance scale, Tinetti test), and scales to assess motor functions (Fugl-Meyer Motor Assessment Scale). The analysis of the obtained results is necessary to determine the degree of functional deficits in a patient and establish short- and long-term treatment goals. The same tests should be repeated systematically during rehabilitation to monitor the patient’s functional state improvement. The aim of the study was to describe selected functional scales and tests used in the rehabilitation process of patients after stroke. Keywords: stroke, functional assessment, scale, ICF
