[The effect of electromyostimulation on the clinico-electroencephalographic indices in the rehabilitation of patients with spastic forms of infantile cerebral palsy].
In a series of paediatric patient population, thirty children presenting with spastic forms of cerebral palsy demonstrated certain differences in the brain bioelectrical activity. In hemiparesis patients, there was an unusual frequency of alpha-rhythm and slow-wave activity as per EEG recordings. Following applied electrical stimulation an increase was noted in brain electrogenesis rate as was improvement of corticosubcortical relationships. In patients presenting with hemiparetic form, changes in brain electrogenesis were believed to suggest activation of cortical mechanisms against the background of reduction in the activity in subcortical structures.
