VALUE OF BRAIN STRUCTURE DYSFUNCTION IN PATHOGENESIS AND FORMATION OF CLINICAL PICTURE OF VIBRATION INDUCED DISEASE

Abstract

The examination of 130 men including neurological examination and. computer electroencephalography with determining of equivalent dipolar sources of pathological activity was performed. Three main groups included employees with a long-term working period exposed by a complex of unfavourable production factors (the local, the whole body vibration, supercooling, physical stress), the patients with occupational polyneuropathy after exposure by a complex of unfavourable factors and. the patients with the vibration-induced diseases due to the local vibration. The study results showed the common signs of the change in bioelectrical brain activity which were found to be characteristic for studied groups compared with clinical symptomatic complex as well as distinguishing features.
