title: [The role of therapeutic physical training and massage in the restoration of static and dynamic functions in the children presenting with the atonic-astatic form of infantile cerebral paralysis].
abstract: Fifteen patients out of 25 involved in this study were given eight 20-day courses of toning massage and a series of special physical exercises designed to strengthen the occlusor muscles of the hip, knee and ankle joints. A massage technique and special physical exercises have been developed that made it possible to significantly improve the static and dynamic functions in the children presenting with the atonic-astatic form of infantile cerebral paralysis. No appreciable changes in the locomotor function was documented in the control group consisting of 10 patients.
