The functional state of agonists and antagonists involving in providing of supporting function of feet and walking in adolescences, aged 13-15 years, with cerebral palsy has been studied using electromyography and polymyography. The electromyographical examination showed infringements of reciprocal innervation and potentials of fasciculation on the curves received from resting muscles of symmetric extremities. Polymyographic curves revealed the elongation of latent time of muscle tension and full period of relaxation against a background of expressed amplitude decay of the dynamometer card. Results obtained are thought to facilitate the more effective implementation of different rehabilitative measures in the late residual disease stage.
