A comprehensive examination of 79 children of middle age (3,2±1,3) years old with perinatal hypoxic-ischemic damage to the central nervous system who were born prematurely was performed. The clinical features of impaired motor functions in premature infants who underwent perinatal hypoxic-ischemic brain damage complicated by intraventricular hemorrhages were studied. It was shown that cerebral palsy was diagnosed in 20,3 % of sick children, which was accompanied by severe motor disorders of levels IV–V according to the classification of motor functions GMFCS; 37,9 % have spastic diplegia with II–III level of motor disorders; 27,8 % have a hemiplegic form of cerebral palsy with motor disorders corresponding to level II of the GMFCS classification. Acquired posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus was diagnosed in 14,0 % of the examined children, while the vast majority of children who were operated on before 6 months of age did not have motor deficiency (level III according to the GMFCS classification); 1 child (9,1 %) was not operated on and had a V level of motor disorders according to GMFCS. It has been established that the most significant factors that form a severe motor prognosis are: gestational age of 27–30 weeks, peri-intraventricular hemorrhages of II–IV degrees, periventricular leukomalacia of III degree and signs of periventricular ischemia.

The clinical and neurological features of prematurely born children with perinatal hypoxic-ischemic lesions of the central nervous system were studied. A comprehensive examination of 79 preterm infants of both sexes who underwent perinatal hypoxic-ischemic lesions of the central nervous system was performed. 37.9 % of the surveyed were diagnosed with spastic cerebral palsy, 20.3 % were diagnosed with spastic diplegia, 27.8 % were diagnosed with childhood hemiplegia, hydrocephalus was acquired in 13.9 % as a result of non-traumatic intraventricular hemorrhage. In 10.3 % of children, severe movement disorders (patients with spastic cerebral palsy and acquired hydrocephalus without surgery) were noted, 37.7 % of the examined did not master walking (patients with spastic diplegia, spastic cerebral palsy and acquired hydrocephalus operated on after 6 months of life), 35.5 % of children have mastered walking with assistive devices (patients with spastic diplegia and acquired hydrocephalus operated on up to 6 months of age), 16.5 % of children have mastered walking without restrictions (children with childhood hemiplegia and acquired hydrocephalus, operated on up to 6 months of age). Characteristic structural changes in perinatal hypoxic-ischemic lesions of the central nervous system are periventricular leukomalacia of the II–III degree and intraventricular hemorrhage of the I–III degree. The study of somatosensory evoked potentials conducted in the course of the work showed that at the 3rd, 4th levels of disorders of motor functions by GMFCP, there is a significant decrease in the function of conducting along the somatosensory pathway, depression of the amplitude of the peaks. It has been established, that in the structure of severe motor disorders in children with perinatal hypoxic-ischemic lesions of the central nervous system, violations of arbitrary regulation of movements and postural control are significant. A clear manifestation of the close correlation between motor function impairment, cognitive activity and anxiety level in the examined children has been established, which testifies to the negative impact of a negative emotional state on the development of a child with severe motor disorders.

In the course of work, in order to identify prognostic criteria for the development of impaired motor function in preterm infants with perinatal hypoxic-ischemic lesions of the central nervous system, a comprehensive examination of 79 infants of both gender born prematurely was performed. All children underwent perinatal hypoxic-ischemic lesions of the central nervous system, 37.9 % of them were diagnosed with spastic cerebral palsy, and 20.3 % had spastic diplegia; 27.8 % - childhood hemiplegia; 13.9 % - hydrocephalus acquired. All children were developed with delayed speech function, patients with infantile hemiplegia and 89.2 % with spastic diplegia at the age of 3 caught up with their peers. Patients with spastic cerebral palsy had speech and cognitive impairment. Prognostic criteria for the likelihood of development of motor function disorders in the examined children are selected taking into account the indicators of their neurological and motor status, gestational age, gender, degree of periintraventricular hemorrhage, periventricular leukomalacia, perivetricular ischemia. The factors leading to the categories «walking without restrictions», «walking with auxiliary devices», «walking not mastered» have been systematized. It has been proved that the combination of periintraventricular hemorrhages of the II degree with ischemic lesions of the brain of mild degree, in most cases gives a more positive prognosis, and the association with more pronounced ischemic lesions forms a heavy motor prognosis in children who were born prematurely and underwent perinatal hypoxic-ischemic brain damage. Predictably unfavorable factors for the formation of cognitive and speech deficits in premature infants are intraventricular hemorrhages of the III degree and periventricular leukomalacia. The prognostic factors for the occurrence of motor disorders in preterm infants are periintraventricular hemorrhage of the II-IV degree, periventricular leukomalacia of the II degree and male gender of the child.

In 1811, Bell had printed privately a monograph titled Idea of a New Anatomy of the Brain. In it, Bell correctly showed that the anterior but not the posterior roots had motor functions. François Magendie subsequently showed that the anterior roots were motor, and the posterior roots were sensory. This led to a dispute about priority during which Bell republished some of his early work with textual alterations to support his claims. Bell was involved in a similar dispute with Herbert Mayo concerning the separate functions of the fifth (sensory) and seventh (motor) cranial nerves, and Mayo today is a forgotten man. In both instances, Bell deserves credit for the concepts and initial experimental approach, and Magendie and Mayo deserve credit for obtaining and correctly interpreting the definitive experimental findings.

The article analyzes the reflexology techniques that are used in the system of rehabilitation  in children with cerebral palsy and comparative effectiveness  in 72 children who were on treatment at the center of early medical and social rehabilitation for children with organic damage of the central nervous system. The main clinical effects are shown and the frequency of adverse reactions of reflexotherapy in this category of patients is analyzed.

Based on the data available today, it is impossible to accurately predict the occurrence of severe organic disorders of the central nervous system (CNS) in the neonatal period – intraventricular hemorrhages (IVH) of varying severity, periventricular leukomalacia (PVL). Objective of the review: to study the significance of anamnestic, clinical, laboratory and instrumental data, pathogenetic markers as predictors of IVH and PVL in the neonatal period. Identification of the leading risk factors can help doctors provide the earliest and most targeted care for newborns, prevent the development of catastrophic consequences from the CNS in the future.
