ABOUT SOME ALTERATIONS OF STANDING AND WA LKING INDEXES IN CHILDREN WITH INFANTILE CEREBRAL PARALYSIS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF SMALL DOSE OF NACOM

10 patients were treated with Nacom preparation (62.5 mg/daily in one dose in the morning). Both the feet support area during standing of on e leg and the vertical component of support reactions were examined by the using EMED pedographical analyser (Germany-Japan). These indexes were analysed in patients before treatment, in patients treated with N acom early - in a week after its withdrawal and after 1 months of Naco m administration. It was determined that support area of equinovarus f eet was enlarged during the treatment due to the increase of the loadi ng on the heel and the middle part of the feet. Meanwhile the support area of equinovarus feet was decreased as a consequence of loading alt erations on foot inner side. The varus component of deformation turned out to be subjected most of all to Nacom action while the equinos one underwent less alterations and the valgus one has changed insignifica ntly. The improvement of dynamic characteristics of walking, support a nd pushing legs functions as well as of relations between support step periods phases was observed in all patients. The Nacom effect depende d upon the type of initial feet deformation. The results obtained were explained in terms of decrease in influence of both tonic cervical re flexes and synergic tonic reactions on feet. That resulted in alterati ons in biomechanic and innervation components of static locomotor func tions in infantile cerebral paralysis.
