The scope: To define the influence of the patient's age to the recovery of his functional status after he has got over the ischemic brain attack in the early phase of rahabilitation. To define the rehabilitation of functional independence after an early rehabilitation and the influence of high pressure to the patient's rehabilitation. The examinees and the methods: The retrospective research comprehended 60 patients who were cured in the Clinic for neurology, part of the Clinical hospital center in Rijeka, with the diagnosis of ischemic brain attack in the period from 1st Jan., 2017 to 31st Dec., 2017. During the research there were used the data from the medical documentation of the Clinical hospital center Rijeka: age, sex, additional deseases, the clasification of brain attacts ( ischemic and hemorrhagic ), FIM test carried out at the arrival and the discharge. Results: The difference between FIM index category at arrival and discharge is the biggest in the category HYGIENE , FEEDING and TOILET, while the lowest progress is registered in the sphere of the care of personal needs: URINATION, STOOLS but also EXPRESSING. There are differences in volume, or in other words, in quantity, between FIM at arrival and FIM at discharge at relatively older and younger patients. Younger patients achieved bigger difference, or in other words – bigger progress between arrival and discharge, measured by FIM index. Both groups of patients show progress in FIN parametres, but the patients without hypertension show bigger and statisticaly significant progress. Conclusion: This research has confirmed that age and the presence of additional deseases have influence to FIM parametres at patients' arrival and discharge. Former researches confirmed that it is possible to achieve progress in early phase of patient's rehabilitation in the case of ischemic brain attack regarding FIM parametres and indicate factors that influence progress. Among these factors, in addition to additional deseases, patient's age has important influence.
