    Abstract:
    UHF electric field (27 or 12 MHz) was applied in intermittent regimen and nonthermal dosage by means of bitemporal condensation plates in early terms after cerebrovascular accident in 40 recovering patients. Clinical response was achieved in 60% of patients who had underwent physiotherapy alone and 75% of those who had been exposed to the electric field in combination with therapeutic exercise and massage. Investigations of microcirculation, blood viscosity and elasticity showed positive changes in the above parameters which could underlie beneficial effect of the field. The paper presents discussion on the effect of such physiotherapy on blood rheology.
