[Effect of decimeter waves on the functional status of spinal alpha-motor neurons in patients with neurologic syndromes of lumbar osteochondrosis].

Patients with neurological syndromes of lumbar osteochondrosis were subjected to clinico-electromyographic examination to study whether it is possible to regulate the function of spinal alpha-motoneurons by decimetric waves (DMW). The effect of DMW on the excitability of alpha-motoneurons was found to depend on their initial function. The neurophysiological mechanisms underlying the therapeutic action of DMW in this pathology are analyzed.
