INTRODUCTION. The rationale of the research is defined by large number patients with hemiparesis, unable to restore an upright posture and in need training use a wheelchair. AIM. To present methodology wheelchair hemiparesis. MATERIALS AND METHODS. We observed 30 severe hemiparesis during training. Examination included assessment clinical, neurological, mental status (MMSE — Mini-Mental State Examination), testing limb muscle strength according Lovett’s scale modified L.D. Potekhin, level sitting function compensation assessment, skills (Wheelchair Skills Test). Each patient attended 10 sessions related physical therapy (PT) sessions, PT classes preceding practicing wheelchair-using movements required sessions. Patients controlled using only healthy limbs. RESULTS. At moment admission, 14 were not able independently; 16 varying degrees. As result limbs increased; statistically significant improvement was noted. None who scored for MMSE test improved their skills. CONCLUSION. Persons learn help Physical precede form necessary learning
