FIRST EXPERIENCE OF TRANSVERTEBRAL MICROPOLARIZATION OF THE SPINAL CORD IN THE COMPLEX TREATMENT OF UPPER LIMBS DEFORMITIES IN PATIENTS WITH ARTHROGRYPOSIS

From 2010 till 2011 transvertebral micropolarization of the spinal cord was applied in 14 patients with arthrogryposis and upper limb deformities in the department of arthrogryposis of the Turner Scientific and Research Institute for Children's Orthopedics. Effectiveness of the method was objectively evaluated in accordance with neurophysiological study. In 4 patients improvement of upper limb motor activity as well as factors of electrogenesis of the tested muscles and peripheral nerves were noted upon the course of TVMP. The first application of transvertebral micropolarization in patients with arthrogryposis associated with damage of upper extremities showed the suitability of its use in complex treatment of this pathology and carrying out further researches in this direction.
