[Electromyographic characteristics of recovery of motor function in patients with lesions of the cervical division of the spinal cord].
Electromyographic examination used for determining spontaneous activity of the muscles in patients with an injury at the level of C3-C6 showed that at the first stage the most significant sign was the presence of at least weak activity in the muscles of the lower extremities. This was usually a precursor of the successful restoration of motor functions and indicated the smallest volume of the injury and the absence of complications. At the later stages of treatment of these patients EMG revealed considerable activity in all major muscle groups ensuring walking and the maximum independence of the patient.
