The present review is focused on the randomized controlled trials and meta-analyses in the field of technological means for neurorehabilitation. The available literature data and the results of original observations provide a basis for distinguishing between the following levels of evidence: instrumental verticalization -- 2a, robot-assisted mechanotherapy -- 1a, biological feedback -- 1a, virtual reality -- 1a, transcranial magnetic stimulation -- 1a for central hemiparesis and 1b for speech disturbance and unilateral spatial agnosia, transcranial electrical stimulation -- 2b, electromyostimulation -- 1a, telerehabilitation -- 3. It is concluded that the use of the innovative technologies for the purpose of neurorehabiltation is objectively substantiated. Further investigations are needed to allow their application on an individual basis.
