Therapy of WC representsserious difficulties and remains to be an unresolved problemof clinical neurology. In this paper we present our experienceof using a complex of rehabilitation directed at sensory-motorreprogramming and correction of predisposing physical factorsin 86 patients with idiopathic WC (26 men and 60 women withmean age of 39.612.5 years). This complex was shown to lead togood or satisfactory results in 79.3% of patients, and the obtainedeffect lasted for a period of up to 10 years. |
