[Use of external local low pressure to improve blood flow in children with infantile cerebral palsy].
Cardiovascular system was studied in 16 children with spastic quadriplegic infantile cerebral palsy (ICP) aged 3-10 years. It was found at rheography that hemodynamics of ICP children differs from normal, in particular arterial tonicity and peripheral resistance were increased. The children were exposed to external local low pressure. This treatment reduced vascular tonicity, peripheral resistance and increased arterial elasticity. The effect is most noticeable on rheoencephalograms.
