[Psychomotor disorders in patients with autonomic dystonia]

The authors used an original device to examine the psychomotor function: rate of information processing, mean reaction time to light stimuli, number of errors in these events and changes of the functional state of the vegetative nervous system by fixation of electrical resistance of the skin before and after work. A study of 120 patients and 20 healthy subjects revealed a close relationship of psychomotor and vegetative functions, worsening of psychomotor reaction in hyperactivation of one of the links of the vegetative nervous system.
