[Rehabilitation of movement disorders using functional biocontrol approaches].

Methods of functional biocontrol (FBC) were used for treating motor disorders in different groups of patients: with DCP and post-stroke hemipareses (n-103). The treatment efficacy was assessed by a specially elaborated 5-point scale of clinical efficacy and also electromyographically. It was found that FBC improved the function of the affected muscles with a readjustment of the mechanisms of their regulation while following the conventional methods of treatment without FBC, the improvement of motor possibilities took place at the expense of one or another mechanism of compensation: active involvement in the motor act of antagonistic or synergistic muscles. A conclusion is drawn as to the clinical efficacy of FBC employment in various motor disturbances of the CNS. Examples of the use of FBC under outpatient conditions are presented.
