The condition of statokinetic resistance in motor neuron disease
Developing paresis leads to the removal of self-care, movement and frequent falls in MND patients. Objective of the study: to assess the state of static kinetic resistance in MND, to determine the features of different MND onsets.Materials and methods: posturographic study was performed on 140 subjects without complaints of impaired stability and balance, of which 96 were patients with MND (ALS) who made up the main group and 44 healthy volunteers (control group). “Stabilan - 01-2” computer stabilizer with biological feedback (manufactured by “Rhythm”, Russia) was used in the studies.Results: we found disturbances of the equilibrium parameters in MND patients compared with the control group. Functional tests that change the parameters of sensory proprioceptive and visual afferentation significantly worsened the equilibrium in MND patients, which may be associated with involvement extrapyramidal tracts. The changes of the statokinesiogram parameters for differentonsets of the MND were established. The most significant changes in equilibrium in all tests were with lumbosacral onset of MND. The positive impact of the complex of rehabilitation measures on the equilibrium of MND patients was established.
