Keywords: neurological status; spinal trauma; numerical analysis; dynamics of restoration

Abstract

Objective. Elaboration of methods of numerical analysis, concerning estimation of  neurological status in patients, suffering consequences of vertebra-spinal trauma (ПСМП).

Маterials and methods. Basing on clinical observations, possible variants of mathematical interpretation of the restoration dynamics of neurological status and the neurological disorders regress were considered.

Results. The methods of the parameters calculation «Dynamics of the neural status restoration» and «Dynamics restoration in neurological disorders», which characterizes various spheres of the functional deficiency regress in patients, suffering traumatic affection of spinal cord, were elaborated.

Conclusion. The proposed methods of numerical analysis may be used for determination of expediency and efficacy of various methods of surgical and medicinal correction in patients with traumatic vertebro-spinal affection.
