| Abstract |
A specially designed suit for proprioceptive correction is offered for the restoration of motor functions in the proximal parts of the upper extremity in the central paresis syndrome at the late restorative and residual periods of stroke. The suit is a logical continuation of the proprioceptive correction systems Adeli, Gravistat aimed at the restoration of equilibrium and walking in post-stroke patients. It consists of a waistcoat, cuffs connected with a system of elastics which are fixed around the upper arm and arm of the paretic upper extremity. The regulation of the tension of elastics allows to create the regimes of "facilitated" work and increased exertion during active movements in the proximal parts of a paretic arm. The effectiveness of the use of the proprioceptive correction suit for restoration of conscious movements in the upper extremity has been proved in 23 patients in the late restorative and residual periods of stroke. As a result of the treatment, most of the patients showed reliable reduction of paresis expression in the arm, the rate of restoration exceeded the indexes in the control group. It is expedient to use the proprioceptive correction suit in the complex of neurorehabilitation measures for restoration of conscious movements in an arm of the post-stroke patient.
