Abstract
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.
