[Treatment of contractures of the lower extremity joints in patients with infantile cerebral palsy against the background of prolonged epidural blockade].

The method was used in 5 patients aged from 11 to 16 years. The prolonged epidural blockade during 4-5 weeks allowed adequate motor rehabilitation and conditions for learning to walk.
