The paper presents rationale for design of new procedures of physiotherapy in children with expanded palate and upper lip; morphofunctional features of prenatal and early postnatal formation of central nervous system; a multilayer technique of magneto-laser radiation to the projection of the anterior central gyrus and the technique of electrostimulation by the system of the wink reflex which can influence central mechanisms of regulation and adaptation before and early after uranoplasty and cheiloplasty.

[Physical factors in the combined rehabilitation of children with a congenital cleft of the upper lip]. / Fizicheskie faktory v kompleksnoi reabilitatsii detei s vrozhdennym nezarashcheniem verkhnei guby.

A total of 551 children with cleft lips and 136 children with secondary deformations of the upper lip and nose were followed up after cheiloplasty. Electrostimulation of the upper lip, total UV exposure, humisol and pelloidine electrophoresis, and total massage before cheiloplasty decreased the incidence of general and local postoperative complications. Reconstructive cheiloplasty was preceded by lidase or iodine ultraphonophoresis or electrostimulation of the perioral muscles. After surgery a course of magnetic and laser exposure or heparin ultraphonophoresis and local troxevasin were prescribed. This improved both the cosmetic and functional result of the operation.

Effective speech rehabilitation of patients with complete clefts of the hard and soft palate can be achieved by multiple-modality treatment including logopedic training, surgical intervention, electrostimulation of the palatal and perioral muscles and nerves. Use of such treatment in 50 patients has cut down the periods of treatment from 6-7 to 2.5-4 months.
