[The bitemporal use of a UHF electrical field (27.12 MHz) in the early recovery period of acute cerebral circulatory disorders: the viscous-elastic properties and microcirculation of the blood]. / Bitemporal'noe primenenie élektricheskogo polia UVCh (27,12 MGts) v rannem vosstanovitel'nom periode ostrykh narushenii mozgovogo krovoobrashcheniia: viazkostno-élasticheskie svoistva i mikrotsirkuliatsiia krovi.

UHF electric field (27 or 12 MHz) was applied in intermittent regimen and nonthermal dosage by means of bitemporal condensation plates in early terms after cerebrovascular accident in 40 recovering patients. Clinical response was achieved in 60% of patients who had underwent physiotherapy alone and 75% of those who had been exposed to the electric field in combination with therapeutic exercise and massage. Investigations of microcirculation, blood viscosity and elasticity showed positive changes in the above parameters which could underlie beneficial effect of the field. The paper presents discussion on the effect of such physiotherapy on blood rheology.

Functional diagnosis of the system "blood-vascular wall" early upon acute failure of cerebral circulation was found valuable both in the detection of various hemostatic functional alterations and development of differential treatment with preformed balneological factors. Compensatory potential present in the system of hemostasis promotes wider introduction of oxygen and carbon dioxide baths in early rehabilitation. The use of balneotherapy leads to modulation of antithrombotic properties of the vascular wall.
