METHOD FOR ELECTRIC STIMULATION OF SPINAL CORD

摘要

FIELD: medicine.SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, namely neurology, physiotherapy. A method involves exposure of a patient's spinal cord above thoracic spines T11-T12. The patient is laid on one side with his/her feet supported by rocking frames. An active electrode is applied on skin. The exposure length is 10-20 seconds. The patient is exposed to a square electric bipolar stimulus sequence. The exposure amplitude is 40-70 mA, frequency is 5-40 Hz, and length is 0.5 m seconds. The carrier frequency is 10 kHz.EFFECT: method provides higher clinical effectiveness ensured by rhythmic alternating activity in flexor and extensor muscles.1 tbl, 6 dwg
