[The application of the flexion test for the development of the rehabilitation program for the children presenting with cervical spine pathology].

As was proven by clinical studies, the results of the flexion test, a specific technique applied in manual therapy, can be used for differential diagnostics of pathological changes in the cervical spine of dysplastic and "mechanical" origin. This fact is taken into consideration in the elaboration of the prevention and rehabilitation programs. The present report is based on the results of the rehabilitative treatment of the children and young athletes presenting with pathological changes in the cervical spine.

[The early comprehensive rehabilitation of the children with perinatal pathology of the craniovertebral region and cerebrospinal neurological symptoms].

This paper is designed to report the results of a clinical study of the children presenting with neurologic pathology for the detection of the most common concomitant craniovertebral disorders. In addition, the experience of application of the methods for comprehensive rehabilitation is presented with special reference to remedial exercises, manual therapy, massage, and other physiotherapeutic procedures. Positive experience with the application of orthopedic devices is described including the Shants collars and corsets as well as the observance of the specific orthopedic locomotor regimen.

[The development of physical education as a basic instrument of rehabilitative treatment, remedial medicine, and goal-oriented health promotion for the benefit of man].

This paper presents a brief description of the development of physical therapy as a basic technology for medical rehabilitation and the current state of research activities in this field at the Federal Therapeutic and Rehabilitative Centre. The importance of targeted re-equipment of health centres, departments of medical rehabilitation and remedial medicine is emphasized for the wider application of novel health-promoting technologies and optimization of control over health improvement procedures through increasing and mobilizing the functional reserves of the human body.

[The mutation of genes of hemostasis system in patients with venous cerebral angiodystonia against the background of connective tissue dysplasia].

The examination was applied to sampling of 238 patients of younger age with neurologic symptomatology under connective tissue dysplasia and 46 healthy persons. The venous cerebral angiodystonia was diagnosed in 153 (64.3%) patients with connective tissue dysplasia.

[The use of hypoxically hypercapnic training for children with the attention deficit syndrome and hyperactivity for the correction of school disadaptation problems].

The problem of rehabilitation of children with the attention deficit syndrome and hyperactivity remains unresolved despite a large number of relevant investigations. The comprehensive rehabilitation of such children requires the use of both medicamental and-non-medicamental factors. The objective of the present study was to address the problem of school disadaptation based on the improvement of memory and attention in children presenting with the attention deficit syndrome and hyperactivity by means of inclusion of hypoxically hypercapnic training in the program of comprehensive rehabilitation with the use ofa Karbonik respiratory training system.

[Variant of quantitative evaluation of the mechanisms of orthostatic response of central hemodynamics].

This paper describes an approach that can help clarify mechanisms of central circulation of orthostatic men using a mathematical model and noninvasive methods of examinations. Circulation parameters such as peripheral resistance (PR), arterial compliance (Ca), and ratio of vein compliance (Cv) to the pump coefficient of the heart (beta) were determined by the "partial identification" method of the two-component circulation model with the aid of cardiac output and arterial blood pressure measured by tetrapolar thoracic rheography and tachooscillography. The paper also contains physiological interpretation of the above parameters as related to the upright posture of man.
