METHOD OF TREATING INFANTILE CEREBRAL PARALYSIS IN FORM OF LATE RESIDUAL SPASTIC DISPLEGIA Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC A61N1/32 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: multichannel low-frequency electric muscle stimulation of lower extremities by means of AKorD apparatus. The electric muscle stimulation coordinates with motor action phases in accordance with the schedule: on the first day, glutei, hip flexors, foot extensors are electrically stimulation; on the second day, the electric stimulation covers paravertebral and lumbosacral muscles. A motion coordination detector is mounted on a more functionally preserved leg. The stimulation is performed in the walking mode at a current frequency of 50 Hz; a current intensity is specified according to pronounced muscle contraction with the stimulation duration of 15 minutes. The electric stimulation is performed as the patient walks, and terminated once the patient stops moving. The procedures are daily with alternating positions of the electrodes; the therapeutic course makes 10 procedures.

EFFECT: method enables providing the improved clinical effectiveness, which is ensured by coordinating the electric stimulus supply with the motor action phases.
