BILATERAL INTERRELATIONS OF ENMGAND EEG-CHARACTERISTICS OF PYRAMID INSUFFICIENCY IN PATIENTS WITH THE CONSEQUENCES OF STROKE AND OF BRAIN INJURY

Abstract

The aim. of the work was to estimate the degree of intensity of interhemispheric interaction with use of complex neurophysiological (electroneuromyography, electroencephalography) testing of 163 patients of 12—74 years in residual period, of ischemic (n = 108) and hemorrhagic (n = 22) hemispheric stroke and. severe craniocerebral injury with brain contusion (n = 33). Obtained, data testifies to the distinct negative influence of postinsult/ posttraumatic cerebral defect on functional characteristica of counter-lateral ("intact") hemisphere that is reflected in proportional changes of all the spectrum, of analyzed, neurophysiological signs. These changes affects all the tested, modules of neuromotor system, and. can be observed over a long period, after the stroke or craniocerebral injury.
