The aim of the present research was to evaluate the main characteristics of tempo-rhythm in healthy adults.
Materials and methods:A total of 33 healthy adult volunteers (20 males and 13 females) participated in the study. The technique involved wrist tapping on the surface of the device (Android smartphone), followed by the registration of the time parameters of this process in the original program based on the modified technique "Method of exogenous rhythmic stimulation influence on an individual human rhythm." The reference boundaries of the wrist tapping characteristics were studied. Conclusion: The obtained data can be used in neurorehabilitation for patients with a wide range of neurological disorders, including epilepsy.

A specially developed proprioceptive correction costume was used for the restoration of motor functions in the proximal parts of the upper limb in central paralysis syndrome in patients in the late recovery and residual post-stroke states. The costume is a logical continuation of the Adeli and Gravistat proprioceptive correction systems, directed to restoring balance and gait in post-stroke patients. The costume consists of a waistcoat and cuffs connected by a system of elastic bands fixed around the shoulder and forearm of the paralyzed upper limb. Controlling the tension in the elastic bands allows a regime of "facilitated" work to be created, with increased loading of active movements in the proximal parts of the paralyzed arm. The effectiveness of using the proprioceptive correction costume in restoring voluntary movements in the upper limb was demonstrated during the treatment of 23 patients in the late recovery and residual post-stroke periods. In most patients, treatment resulted in significant decreases in the extent of paralysis in the arm and produced recovery rates greater than those seen in the control group. Use of the proprioceptive correction costume in the neurorehabilitation complex is advised for restoration of voluntary movements in the arms of stroke patients.
The aim of the present study was to assess the main characteristics of the tempo-rhythm in healthy adults.
Materials and Methods:We examined 60 healthy adults without neurological and endocrinological pathology. Participants were divided into 2 groups. In Group 1 there were 33 adults without deviations on the scale of anxiety and depression were, and in Group 2, there were 27 persons with subclinically expressed anxiety according to the test results. The test was conducted using hospital anxiety and depression scale HADS. The study was conducted using a modified original technique "Method of exogenous rhythmic stimulation influence on an individual human rhythm."Results: We found that anxiety statistically significant affects the quantitative and qualitative parameters of wrist tapping (individual rhythm and rhythm stability) in healthy adults.Conclusion: The obtained data can be used in neurorehabilitation for adult patients with a wide range of neurological disorders, including epilepsy.

Time parameters of locomotor functions are studied by computer analysis of walking phase with the aim of correcting pace-rhythmic structure of locomotor act, disturbed in conditions of organic brain pathology. As a result of comparison with average statistical norm, time frequency was selected and 83 offered to patient by functioning of portable photophonostimulator as the main walking speed. As a result of using this method (referential bioadaptation) in 7 patients parameters of locomotor functions significantly approximated to the norm. This approach is considered promising for locomotor rehabilitation in neurology.
Optimization possibilities of rehabilitation process have been studied for patients, who had suffered a cerebral ischemic insult. In particularly the effectiveness of referent bioadaptation method, used in complex of rehabilitation procedures, had been investigated. Results of treatment of 30 patients having had an ischemic vertebrobasilar insult were given: 15 patients were treated by a referent adaptation method (the first group), 15 by traditional medicaments (the second group). The referent agents were light and sound impulses, their frequency rates being selected individually. A comparison analysis of rehabilitation outcomes for both groups was done. It was shown that usage of referent bioadaptation method in rehabilitation of cerebral ischemic insult patients was effective, It was proved an expediency of outer light, sound or sound-light stimulation, used in the complex of rehabilitation treatment of patients, who had suffered an ischemic insult in vertebrobasilar region of brain.
