EMG-estimation of surgical treatment efficiency in patients with L3-L5 spondylolisthesis
The purpose of work has consisted in specification of a role of etiological and age factors in EMG- manifestations of pre- and postoperative sensomotor deficiency in patients with neurologically complicated spondylolisthesis in a lumbar department of a spine column. 46 patients at the age of 13-62 years (21 male patients and 24 female ones) with L3-L5 spondylolisthesis were subjected to complex EMG-testing (M-responses, H-reflexes, transcranially evoked potentials, voluntary EMG). It is shown, that operative intervention induces in a various degree the expressed functional changes in lower limbs sensomotor structures, dependent on age, etiology and the used surgical treatment technology.
