Myographic biofeedback training in combination with post-isometric relaxation of spastic muscles in patients with infantile cerebral paralysis

Abstract

Neurodynamic mechanisms underlying regulation of muscular tone are considered in the context of the integral systemic approach to the analysis of efficiency of adaptive preparation of spastic muscles to kinesitherapeutic procedures exemplified by myographic biological feedback (BFB) training of the affected muscles in children suffering cerebral paralysis. It is shown that the application of the post-isometric relaxation method immediately before biofeedback training seances increases effectiveness of these procedures and combined therapy of locomotor disorders at large.
