The cognitive impairments and their correction for children
with cerebral palsy by intensive neurophysiological rehabilitation
system
The aim of the study was to examine the dynamics of cognitive impairments in children and teenagers with cerebral palsy during rehabilitation using Intensive neurophysiological rehabilitation system (INRS). To evaluate the eff ectiveness of cognitive impairments by INRS 174 patients with cerebral palsy were examined, before and after completion of rehabilitation. Main positive eff ects of using INRS for correction of cognitive impairment in children with cerebral palsy consisted in improving the functions of verbal memory, voluntary attention, neurodynamic and operational components of mental operations, improving performance of verbal and nonverbal intelligence. Proven that intensive neurophysiological rehabilitation system is an eff ective corrective method of cognitive impairments in children with cerebral palsy. Key words: cerebral palsy, cognitive impairments, rehabilitation, intensive neurophysiological rehabilitation system.
