[Clinico-electromyographic indicators in patients with ischemic myelopathy].

Electromyography, electroneuromyography and monosynaptic N-reflex studies were performed in 61 patients with ischemic myelopathy. These data can be used to specify localization and the extent of the process. Its differentiation with several diseases providing a phenocopy of spinal disorders (tumors, lateral amyotrophic sclerosis syringomyelia, funicular myelosis) is discussed. The results of the study are important for evaluation of the extent of motor disorders compensation states in disabled functions, and hence, the patients' working capabilities.
