[Effect of sinusoidally modulated currents on the dynamics of echoencephalographic indices in children with cerebral palsy and dysarthrias].

The echo-encephalographic parameters and their changes induced by sinusoidal modulated currents applied to the external muscles of the tongue and the neck are analysed in 57 children with infantile cerebral paralysis (ICP) and dysarthrias. In these children, the indices of the cerebral and ventricular mantel were found to be increased and differing considerably from the respective indices of control children. This was considered to be an evidence of greater content of cerebrospinal fluid in the cerebral ventricles in the children with ICP. In the course of treating these children with sinusoidal modulated currents a tendency to normalization of the echo-encephalographic parameters and an improvement of the functional potentialities of the paretic muscles were noted. This is favourable for subsequent logopedic training of the children.
