The review summarizes the results of the search for high-quality clinical studies related to the use of physical therapy methods in stroke rehabilitation meeting modern requirements from the point of view of evidence-based medicine. To solve this problem, the following databases are used: Physiotherapy Evidence Database – PEDro, Cochrane Library, PubMed, Stroke, Articles presenting the results of randomized controlled trials (RCTS) are selected. To search for information, the queries “physiotherapy”, “electrotherapy”, “evidence-based physiotherapy”, “electrostimulation”, “transcranial magnetostimulation”, “Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation”, “magnetotherapy”, “cryotherapy”were used. Despite the obvious lack of research on a large number of applied physiotherapy factors and individual methods of influence, the modern evidence base of physiotherapy in stroke has recently been supplemented by a considerable number of studies. It is mainly related to the section of electrotherapy, which allow us to talk about individual methods of exposure as based on a high-quality evidence base that allows to form recommendations of a high level of evidence. Additional research is needed to make recommendations on other physiotherapy methods and factors.
