title: [The distinctive features of EMG-activity in early age children with movement disorders].
abstract: The purpose of this work was the study of neuromuscular characteristics of healthy infants and infants with movement disorders by method of surface electromyography. 76 children at the age from 6 months till 3 years participated in the investigation: 61 with movement disorders (13--with ataxic form of cerebral palsy (CP), 48--with spastic form of CP) and 15 without movement disorders. Passive flexing and extending of knee and hip joints was conducted to the child in a recumbent position, EMG activity of the basic muscles groups of a hip and a shin was recorded. Characteristic properties of electromyographic activity were assessed with wavelet transform and subsequent analysis of obtained time dependencies. As a result of work the parameters connected with diagnosis of infants with movement disorders were revealed.
