[Clinico-electrophysiologic studies of the spastic syndrome and its neurosurgical treatment in patients with spinal cord lesions].
The authors analyse the results of surgical treatment of spastics in 15 patients with spinal cord lesions. The results of a dynamic, neurological and electrophysiological examinations permit to draw several conclusions on the mechanisms of spasticity and its elimination by surgery. A restoration of reflex activity in the absence of the spastic syndrome is considered by the authors as a favourable result of the operation.
