METHOD FOR RESTORING NORMAL MUSCULAR TONICITY IN CHILDREN AT THE AGE OF UP TO 5 AT HYPERKINETIC FORM OF JUVENILE CEREBRAL PALSY Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC A61H7/00 

FIELD: medicine, pediatrics, neurology.

SUBSTANCE: the innovation suggested deals with performing muscular manipulations along with conducting power impact upon muscles. For areas of tendinous-ligamentous apparatus fixation to periosteum successively in area of inferior limbs, back, neck, head, superior limbs it is necessary to detect points providing body position resetting when they are pressed with fingers towards the side of normal physiological position. They should be labeled with pellets out of freshly obtained fruit grains containing alpha-oxyacids. Then they should be subjected to point impact due to applying static pressure along a normal against body surface. Then one should conduct linear tangential power impact upon muscles being adjacent to pellets due to massaging and/or vibrational stroking with efforts not overcoming pain threshold. One should detect desired points at inferior limbs at plantar and rear surfaces of feet in area of toes' bottom at the side being opposite to that with pronounced pathological rotation. One should daily detect about 2-5 points to be then affected. Mechanical manipulations with juvenile muscles should be carried out due to stimulating child's active straightening his body himself. For this purpose a child should squat at physiologically normal position of his feet. Then it is necessary to press upon knee joints to make them to lift. Then it is necessary to press upon knee joints to make them to drop up to full squat position. Mechanical manipulations with juvenile muscles should be performed similarly due to keeping the body in horizontal position upon a rigid foundation. For this purpose, limbs and head should be fixed to the foundation with elastic bandages for 50-70 min, then the head should be unfixed followed by unfixing superior and inferior limbs successively at temporal delay for 5-10 min. Therapy course lasts for 20-25 seances. The innovation enables to detect more accurate sites for the impact.

EFFECT: higher efficiency.
