[Dynamics of restoration of the motor and sensory functions of the upper extremity after suturing].

In 46 patients 63 nerves of upper extremities were sutured and clinico-electroneuromyographic investigations performed. The restitution of motor and sensory functions ran slowly over 7 to 36 months depending on the level injured. Full restoration of motor functions surpassed the restoration of sensory functions in the autonomic zone of the nerve lesioned. Electroneuromyographic investigation showed that clinical healing provides no real indices of the final nerve regeneration as the nervous condition velocity remained altered. This allows recommending nonsurgical treatment for several months after surgery under electroneuromyographic control.

[Diagnostic value of electromyography in revealing the laterality of the motor deficit in brain tumors].

Electromyographic studies of anterior tibial muscles supplemented by simultaneous induction of Babinski's reflex indicated the appearance of bioelectrical activity in the extremities contralateral to the tumour which suggested the generalization of tone alterations and helped determine the laterization of the pathological process even when there were no clinical manifestations of motor deficit. Having analyzed their own and literature data, the authors came to the conclusion that the contralateral response observed on the electromyogram in the form of prolonged bioelectrical activity with simultaneous appearance of tonic tension in the crus flexors in the absence of clinically evident motor deficit is explained by the presence of the crossover protective reflex on the spinal level.
