La. Shevchenko et al., NEW CLASSIFICATION OF MOTOR DISORDERS IN PATIENTS AFTER CEREBRAL STROKE, Zurnal nevropatologii i psihiatrii im. S.S. Korsakova, 96(6), 1996, pp. 16-18
A new classification of motor disorders in patients after brain hemisp
here's stroke as well as with its sequelae was proposed on the basis o
f clinical electromyographic studies. The classification validity was
confirmed by mathematic statistic methods. The classification was comp
osed of motor syndromes and is based on the following criteria: the se
verity of paresis, the correlation between gravity of paresis of the u
pper and lower limbs, muscular spasticity, alteration of integral esti
mation of active movements (the motor algorithm). The most informative
signs of classification are the following: the paresis gravity, the d
egree of muscular spasticity, the alteration of motor algorithm, the p
arameters of stimulative electromyography. The described classificatio
n permits to carry out differentiated actions of neurorehabilitation d
irected to intensification of effectivity of treatment after hemispher
e's stroke.
