T Article 02. Report of Adeli Suit Pilot Testing in the United States
Article 03. Efficacy of Application of the Adeli Suit in Treatment of Infantile Cerebral Palsy On the basis of Eugene G. Sologub's doctoral dissertation "System of Rehabilitation of Patients with Infantile Cerebral Palsy by the Method of Dynamic Functional Proprioreceptive Correction" - Moscow, 1997. The study was conducted at the Vladimirskii Moscow Regional Clinical Research Institute and Moscow Children's Psychoneurological Hospital no. 18.
The clinical
examination carried out on completion of the therapeutical course revealed in
all patients the presence of improvement with respect to the motor sphere. An
increase in the volume of movements was noted in 75%, an improvement of bearing
ability - in 73%, an improvement of social skills and skills of everyday living
- in 70%, a decrease in the degree of the hyperkinetic syndrome and cerebellar
syndrome - in 60% of the patients. A decrease in the degree of the pathologic
position and tonic reflexes resulted in an improvement of the motor skills
(sitting, maintaining the vertical position, walking). Article 05. Cerebral Palsy. Etiology and Pathogenesis Kazan State Medical University Neurological Bulletin, issue 1-2, Kazan, 1998. Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a term used to describe a syndrome group of different clinical presentation. These syndromes appear as a result of brain hypoplasia and brain damage on different stages of ontogenesis. They are characterized by inability to retain physiological posture and to do voluntary movements. The definition of CP does not apply to any progressive hereditary diseases of the nervous system including different metabolic defects or injury of the spinal cord and the peripheral nerves. At present it is clear that the term “cerebral palsy” does not cover all the variety and essence of neurological disorders accompanying this disease. Nevertheless, it is widely used in the world literature, because no other term which could more thoroughly characterize these pathological states has been proposed as yet. Epidemiological researches in industrial developed countries show that CP prevalence constitutes 2-2,5 cases per 1000 persons. The data about CP prevalence are changing in proportion as medical science develops. There are many various opinions on etiology of CP. This disease is regarded as a polyetiological one. Estimations of the causes leading to development of CP show that in most cases it is impossible to pick out any of them as a predominant one, because very often it is a combination of several unfavorable factors that manifest themselves both during pregnancy and at labor stage. |
