The rehabilitation role of abnormal reflexes
https://doi.org/10.17021/2712-8164-2024-3-6-10
Abstract
In most post-stroke patients, an increase in muscle tone on the hemiplegic side is accompanied by a revival of tendon reflexes and an expansion of their reflexogenic zone, as well as the appearance of specific abnormal reflexes. All these signs have long been considered when diagnosing damage to the pyramidal system in diseases of the spinal cord and brain, but their rehabilitation significance has not yet been considered. Based on literature data, the clinical and neurophysiological characteristics of known abnormal reflexes were assessed. It is concluded that it is possible to use lively tendon reflexes, as well as tonic reflexes of the foot and hand (Babinsky and its analogues, Mayer's, Klippel – Feil, Larry`s reflexes) in rehabilitation practice. The role of phasic abnormal hand and foot reflexes (Rossolimo's sign and its analogues) in the rehabilitation process is considered insignificant due to their short duration.
