[The combined use of functional biocontrol and acupuncture reflexotherapy in children with the spastic forms of infantile cerebral palsy]

ShaÄtor IN, Bogdanov OV, ShaÄtor VM.

An optimal method of rehabilitation is outlined for children with movement disorders due to spastic cerebral paralysis. It implies combined use of functional biocontrol and acupuncture. In drug intolerance the treatment acquires special significance. The effectiveness of these two modalities comes from mutual potentiation effect on central regulation of motor functions as shown by electrophysiological findings. Marked positive shifts in clinical and electrophysiological patterns develop within 15 training procedures with the external feedback in addition to 11 sessions of acupuncture.
