[Myofixation in the patho- and sanogenesis of lumbar osteochondrosis].

Neuroorthopedic , electromyographic and neuropsychological examinations of patients with lumbar osteochondrosis have shown that dynamic myofixation in health is regulated by the preceding muscular reactions. When these mechanisms are impaired, the disease is characterized by an early onset and a severe course. With the development of osteochondrosis the myofixation in the damaged spinal segment is regulated by the reflex responses to the impulses from the zone of the damaged disk and from the focus of aseptic inflammation developing there rather than by the preceding muscular reactions. Its development is determined by the degree of cellular immunity tension.
