Analysis of functional state of the brain in 32 juveniles with residual stage of infantile cerebral paralysis (ICP) was performed basing on electroencephalography data in correction of motor disorders with the method LK-92 Ädely" to optimize proprioceptive afferent current. In all the cases a positive brand was observed: a) gradual changes of EEG-pattern in one direction, b) decrease of the power of slow-waived part of the spectrum, c) increase of the spectral power in alpha-range (60\%), d) increase of its amplitude by 10-25 microV, and e) increase of the frequency alpha-range by 0.5-1 Hz in 28\% of the cases. Normalization of zonal distribution of biopotentials on convexital surface of the cortex was found in 90\%. The data obtained reflect pronounced rearrangement of bioelectric activity of the brain, due to weakening of the pathologic influences on the cortex and strengthening of the mechanism of cortical inhibition.
