FIELD: medicine. SUBSTANCE: method involves applying stimulating electrodes for periodically irritating muscles with electric pulses of various duration. Force-duration curve is built and chronaxie is determined. When applying stimulation, muscle contraction control is carried out. 10% drop of muscle response amplitude being observed, 1 min long pause in stimulation treatment is set. Repeated stimulation is carried out. Muscular response being restored to initial level, stimulation is to be continued. Muscle contraction function not being repaired, rest period is prolonged for additional 2 min. Stable reduction of amplitude after 2 min long pause being observed, muscle stimulation is cancelled for the next day. EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness of treatment. 1 dwg
