Patients with progressive neuromuscular diseases (PND) suffer from motor disabilities which result not only from muscle weaknesses but also from the response of the upper motor neuron to these weaknesses. A short review of studies of the neurocontrol of posture and gait is given for patients with PND and their importance for the maintenance of ambulation will be reviewed. It is proposed that the newly established procedures for the modification of muscle properties by means of low frequency stimulation can further restore motor activities when used in conjunction with motor studies soon after the onset of PND.
进行性神经肌肉疾病（PND）患者存在运动功能障碍，这不仅源于肌肉无力，还源于上运动神经元对这些无力状况的反应。本文简要回顾了针对PND患者的姿势和步态神经控制研究，并将探讨其对维持行走能力的重要性。有人提出，在PND发病后不久，将通过低频刺激改变肌肉特性的新方法与运动研究相结合，能够进一步恢复运动功能。
