[The role of personality aspects in patients with chronic neurological symptoms of vertebral osteochondrosis and psychological rehabilitation methods].
The aim of the study is to define mechanisms of influence of the most typical personal traits on chronization of vertebroneurological signs. 100 chronic patients with vertebroneurologic pathology were examined. Early signs of psychic dysadaptation, hypostenic or mixed types of psychological reactivity, low lability of intellectual processes and nonspecific signs were found in the most of the patients. It is suggested that insufficiency of psychological defence might contribute to the development of psychic dysadaptation. Both mechanisms of psychological defence and attitude toward disease were conditioned by predominant personal peculiarities. It is personal characteristics that cause predisposition to development of psychic dysadaptation and to unfavourable attitude toward disease. That in turn contribute to the development of the disorders of motor stereotype. Psychocorrection of such patients is discussed.
