FUNCTIONAL STATE OF THE DIAPHRAGM IN CHILDREN WITH DIFFERENT SHAPES OF INFANTILE CEREBRALPALSY
Aim- to study the features of the morphofunctional state of the diaphragm using ultrasound technique in children with different shapes of infantile cerebral palsy. Among 66 patients with cerebral palsy, hypertrophy of the muscular part of the diaphragm, a decrease in contractility and the formation of dysfunction were established with age. The most severe damage to the diaphragm with dysfunction and severe impairment of motor functions on the GMFCS scale was observed in hemiplegic, hyperkinetic and atonic-ataxic forms in comparison with spastic ones.
