title: [F wave occurrence in patients after stroke].
abstract: F wave parameters are connected with spinal motoneuron excitability. In view of this, the authors performed the study of the evolution of that response in 30 patients after cerebral stroke in three subsequent periods: I--1st or 2nd day, II--14th or 15th day, III--5 to 6 weeks after stroke. We found F wave occurrence to be reduced in the first period after stroke; subsequently its parameters increased greatly. Changes of F wave parameters could be observed earlier than changes of clinical status, especially of muscle tonus.
