Evaluation of changes in CNS functional status in patients with disordered motor function based on a mathematical analysis of EEG data prior to and after rehabilitation therapy according to the method of functional regulation of movements
The study is focused on investigation of neurophysiological mechanisms underlying the rehabilitation process in patients with disordered motor function involving the use of the method of functional regulation of movements ( FRM). A complex dynamic investigation of the brain bioelectrical activity was carried out before and after applying the FRM approach. It was found that following a course of FRM therapy there was an increase in interhemispheric EEG coherence for different rhythmic ranges in various cortical regions and a sharp rise in interhemispheric coherence in central (motor) areas of the cortex. These facts consistent with the idea that not only cortico cortical but also cortico subcortical interactions involving brain regulatory systems are reflected in EEG coherence parameters may be indicative of activation of integrative processes and interhemispheric interaction resulting from the use of the FRM method as well as integration of motor cortical projection areas. EEG markers of integrative rehabilitation processes evolving in patients with motor disturbances after inclusion of the FRM method in the course of rehabilitation have been identified.
