The dynamics of muscle EMG-patterns for lower limb lengthening in orthopaedic patients

The analysis of variety of EMG-patterns of lower limb muscles in different groups of orthopaedic patients has demonstrated that changes of spinal motor center excitability in the process of distraction osteosynthesis are of non-specific character. The frequency dynamics of some EMG types reflects the etiologic features of motor unit functional condition before the first surgical intervention and in the late rehabilitation periods before repeat lengthening starting.
