[Changes in the nervous system during prolonged hypokinesia (clinico-experimental study)]

A combined clinical and neurophysiological study of 12 clinically healthy subjects under conditions of strict bed regimen was carried out. The data obtained have shown that hypokinesia in initially healthy subjects induces a complex of neurological changes expressed as the neurosis-like vegetative-dystonic syndrome attended with reflectory-motor and cerebrovascular disorders. Similar alterations prevail in patients with "nosogenic" hypokinesia when the motor sphere is impaired. Muscular electrostimulation is proved advisable as a therapeutic-prophylactic means for hypokinetic changes in the nervous system.
