FIELD: medicine, neurology.
SUBSTANCE: a patient should be in initial position when his/her sight is directed towards the ceiling and in 3-5 min it is necessary to register a background rheoencephalogram, then a patient should fix the sight at a pointer's tip being at the distance of about 30 cm against the bridge of nose along the middle line, then the sight should be directed into marginal position due to shifting pointer to the left. Then the sight should be returned into initial position and 3 min later it is necessary to register rheoencephalogram of vertebro-basilar circulation, calculate rheographic index (RI), coefficient for RI ratio on returning the sight from left-hand marginal position into initial one (k2) and at k2>1.098 from the left and (or) k2>1.085 from the right one should detect alteration in vertebro-basilar circulation by reflector mechanism. The method excludes biomechanical impact in stimulating proprioceptive receptors of muscular-ligamentous system under stretching.
EFFECT: higher accuracy and reliability of detection.
