Use of direct electrical stimulation and mechanotherapy on "Lokomat" complex in patients with neurologic deficit

Abstract

While studying the results of combining different variants of electrical stimulation in patients with neurologic deficits together with mechanotherapy using "Arthromot" device we revealed the most effective combination of epidural or epineural proximal stimulation of spinal cord and involved nerve trunk by implanted electrodes combined with distal electrical stimulation of the muscle groups of autonomous zones by surface electrode leads and potentiation of achieved effect by "Locomat" complex.
