Abstract

In the clinical and electrophysiological laboratory of the Department of Neurology and Neurosurgery BelMAPO on the basis of the neurological departments of the 5th Clinical Hospital in Minsk, an examination and correction of the indications of impaired balance control functions in a group of elderly patients with changing the cerebral bloodstream.

Highlights

The control system for the position of the human body in space is complexly organized and includes many structural elements: the reticular formation of the brain and spinal cord, extrapyramidal and pyramidal, rubrospinal, nigrospinal, cerebellar and vestibular systems [1, 2]
Imbalance in maintaining equilibrium indicates the development of a pathological process, for example, a change in cerebral blood flow, in one of the links of the equilibrium control system [3, 4]
The development of new technologies for the neurorehabilitation of patients [10] with balance and mobility dysfunctions closely depends on knowledge of the neurophysiological mechanisms involved in postural stabilization, but they are not well understood

Summary

Introduction

The control system for the position of the human body in space is complexly organized and includes many structural elements: the reticular formation of the brain and spinal cord, extrapyramidal and pyramidal, rubrospinal, nigrospinal, cerebellar and vestibular systems [1, 2]. The vestibular analyzer is the main one in coordinating the activity of involuntary functions, maintaining posture and position in space [5]. In addition to stating the fact of the degree of impairment of the vestibular function [6, 7], the level of localization of the pathological process, an important aspect for the clinic is the assessment of the effectiveness of the treatment [8, 9]. The use of non-invasive, high-precision diagnostic equipment is one of the ways to solve the problem. One of these methods includes computer stabilization based on biological feedback, which is one of the most promising approaches in the rehabilitation of patients. One of these techniques is biofeedback-based computer stabilography, which is one of the most promising approaches in the rehabilitation of patients with movement disorders [7, 9]
