Kurgan, Russia

 Complex neurophysiological examination (global and stimulation electromyography) was performed in dynamics for 55 patients (41 males and 14 females) at the age of 18-56 years with closed compression fractures of the thoracic, thoracolumbar and lumbar spine, who were surgically treated at RISC "RTO". The correlation was revealed between the EMG-criteria of the degree of muscular innervations safety and the level of the recovery of patient's ability to move independently.

Keywords: spinal-and-spinal cord trauma, electromyography, muscles, nerves.
