Abstract

The results of rehabilitation in 93 cases of complicated cervical vertebrae trauma are presented. The patients were divided into three groups depending on the remoteness of the trauma and the degree of actual neurological deficit. The necessary amount and stages of rehabilitation therapy are defined for each group. Electrophysiological monitoring (EMG, RVG) in the course of treatment and successive follow-up are strongly suggested.
