[Clinical and neurophysiological characteristics of motor cortical responsiveness during prolonged cranial osteoplasty].

The data of global and stimulation poly-EMG were used to estimate the outcomes of multimodality treatment of sequelae of brain injury and stroke, which was based on the vasoactive effects of prolonged cranial osteoplasty. Thirteen patients (7 males and 6 females) aged 19 to 64 (mean 42 +/- 4) years who had signs of left- (n = 2) and right-sided (n = 11) spastic hemiparesis. Global and stimulation poly-EMG, which involved recording and analysis of resting and total EMG under the maximum voluntary tension, M-waves H-reflexes, transcranially evoked potentials.
