Computer stabilometry for evaluation of the habilitation effectiveness of children with movement disorders in their first twelve months of life

Objective: To develop new objective criteria for assessing the effectiveness of medical habilitation for children aged 3—6 months with movement disorders based on a dynamic quantitative assessment of the ability to maintain the first antigravity postures.

Characteristics of children and research methods. 85 children aged 3—6 months underwent clinical and functional examination, including neurological examination and computer stabilometry according to our methodology. The test group consisted of 69 children with movement disorders after moderate and severe perinatal lesions of the central nervous system. The control group consisted of 16 children without neurological pathology. The children of the test group underwent a dynamic examination, before and after a course of medical habilitation. In a retrospective analysis, they were divided into 2 subgroups depending on the dynamics of movement disorders: Group I — children with positive dynamics (n=50), Group II — children without positive dynamics ((n=19).

Results and conclusion. The authors found that on the background of the treatment activities the dynamics of computer stabilometry was associated with the dynamics of neurological disorders. The authors described a new method for assessing the effectiveness of medical habilitation in children aged six months with movement disorders using the computer stabilometry. This method is characterized by a high diagnostic significance.
