Аннотация:The main features of early rehabilitation after severe brain damage are discussed in the article. The most important component for the entire rehabilitation process and the subsequent life of the patient is considered restorationof consciousness. Team seems to be a key factor in regaining consciousnessalong with the restoration of vital functions, movement, cognition, and behavior in these patients. The basic working principle is feedback to any minimalmovement, or vegetative signal of a patient, beyond specific professional targets. A network of feedbacks with a patient and between professionals, that is,free flow of information, can be built only through work in a transdisciplinaryteam mode. The net of feedbacks with the patient and inter-professional onesbuilds up the team as Non-linear Complex System. Characteristics of“Team-Patient” system status are energy, entropy, and complexity. Teamwork techniques are individualized for resulting optimization of system condition. Increase of complexity is a powerful tool for propulsion of recoveryprocess. Then consciousness may appear as a result of systemself-organization. The article reflects the authors’ view on interdisciplinarystudies of the phenomenon of consciousness through its impairment and recovery. It focuses on the work of the “proper rehabilitation team”, the mechanisms of its action and methods for researching the occurring phenomena.
