Statistics keeps indicating that brain vascular diseases remain one of the most important medical and social problems of modern society. Rehabilitation of cerebral stroke, despite the effective diagnosis and quality treatment, is not always effective enough, partly because the system of rehabilitation of patients in our country is not sufficiently developed. Over the past decade, traditional rehabilitation methods have been supplemented by the developments based on the use of digital technology, computerized systems and robotic devices.The aim of the work is to summarize the achievements in the country in the field of rehabilitation of stroke patients over the last 5 years. Research method — literature review.Results. To date, virtual reality technologies, combined application of virtual reality technologies (BTS Nirvana) and training on the COBS platform (multifunctional simulator system), non-invasive neurocomputer interfaces have proved their effectiveness. These have been demonstrated the effectiveness in terms of rehabilitation the use of hypercapnic hypoxia and a number of stimulating technologies, including transcranial magnetic stimulation and electromyostimulation.

The article provides an overview of the discussion problem – the role of geriatric nurse in geriatric practice. The ageing of the population and, in this regard, the increase in the load and increased requirements for the health sectors led to a revision of the concept of geriatric care for the population. However, so far the role of the nurse in rendering medical and medico-social assistance to patients of the senior age groups is finally not defined.The review included materials published from 2015 to 2020.

The role of the nurse in geriatrics has been discussed for more than fifty years. As early as 1965, Doreen Norton, a well-known nursing theorist, wrote that no nurse in the world should start their career without a background in geriatrics that should be in the training structure. In Russia, currently there is a significant lack of qualified nursing staff in the field of geriatric care. Besides, there is still no such specialty as geriatric nurse. The aim is to consider the degree of definition and understanding of the role of the geriatric nurse in addressing the challenges associated with the aging of the population and the expansion of the group of older people with increased demands on social and medical services Methods: Analysis of the scientific papers for the period from 2015 to 2020 published on the CyberLeninka website. CyberLeninka is the scientific electronic libraries based on the Open Science paradigm, aiming at, in particular, popularization of science and scientific activities. Results: Cyberleninka revealed 14 articles met the criteria of inclusion in to the paper by titles. By content there was included 7 articles. In Russia, "geriatric nurse" means activity profile, not a specialty. There is no any special professional training courses in geriatrics, nurses mainly learn from the conferences on geriatrics in terms of the nursing sections or schools provided by NCO. Nursing beds are being run by nurses qualified as general practitioners. There is still evidence of misunderstanding of the geriatric nurses' role, nursing training in geriatrics at the college level is reported to be poor. Conclusions: Despite a number of the arguments supporting the importance of the geriatric nurse role and the need for its development in Russia, this issue remains undeveloped. It remains unclear why after having run 26-year history of Geriatrics in St.Petersburg geriatric nursing as a specialty has not been introduced officially and is waiting for being acknowledged.
