[Rehabilitation treatment of patients with children cerebral palsy using functional muscle electrostimulation during gait].
A technique for investigation of biomechanical and electromyographic parameters of gait in patients with diplegic form of children cerebral palsy (CCP) was described. Peculiarities of biomechanical and innervation structure of locomotor act in such patients were found. Recommendations for muscle electrostimulation during gait were specified. The best therapeutic effect was achieved in the combined four-channel electrostimulation of gluteus maximus muscles in the first half of support phase and of anterior tibial muscles in the end of the support phase and during the transfer phase. The muscle electrostimulation during gait demonstrated a positive effect of the treatment on the process of movement rehabilitation of CCP patients with diplegic form.
