Zusammenfassung

The authors carried out dynamic observation of 180 children aged 3-14 with infantile cerebral paralysis (ICP) who were treated for pronation flexion contractures of the forearm and of the hand, studied up to 45 values connected with the age of the patients, terms of appearance of the symptoms of the disease, subsequently processed the results of their investigations employing methods of analysis of variance, non-linear correlation and regression analysis and constructed analytical models of development of the pathologic process, which allowed to draw the following conclusions. Pathomechanogenesis of disturbances of the upper extremity in ICP includes primary muscular disbalance, successive formation of faulty postures, pathologic locomotor stereotype, vegetotrophic disturbances, contractures of the joint and anatomical changes of the skeleton. These changes are closely correlated with the age of the patients and according to the degree of the disturbances may be regarded as stages of the disease.
