title: [Myofascicular hypertonia as a generator of peripheral determinant structure].
abstract: The reflex nature of the myofascicular hypertonus (MFH) is evidenced. This is a consequence of the changes in muscular contractile activity. Local, segmental and suprasegmental motor control structures participate in the MFH pathogenesis. MFH generates a perifheral determinant structure. It is capable of substantially changing the manifestations of spastic torticollis++ and syringomyelia. MFH is a major factor of the secondary contracture in the face muscles. It is important in muscular tonic manifestations in spondylogenic neurologic disorders. Postisometric relaxation (manual therapy) provides a means of pathogenetic treatment for MFH.
