Abstract
A study was made of pathological tonic reflexes (PTR) in adolescents afflicted with infantile cerebral paralysis (ICP) by means of assaying the tone of thigh muscles before and after treatment and in the presence of L-DOPA (nacom, 62.5 mg/day) intake. The drug minimized the manifestations of PTR because of changes in the function of brain structures involved in tonic reactions. It is recommended that during establishment of indications for +orthopedic-surgical treatment of ICP patients with marked PTR determining the formation of reflex contractures and deformities of limb joints, conservative treatment with L-DOPA drugs be preliminarily carried out.
