Abstract

This work experimentally showed the possibility of using neurophysiological and neuropsychological indicators of the efficiency of rehabilitation to better understand brain mechanisms of the syndrome and the compensation of deficiencies using a model of rehabilitation of motor and cognitive functions in patients with Parkinson's disease. A study paradigm was developed in three patients with a predominantly akinetic–rigid form of parkinsonism. The methods of the study included clinical neurological, neuropsychological, neurophysiological, and psychometric analyses. A positive correlation was found between clinical, psychometric, and neuropsychological measures, and a positive correlation between neurophysiological and neuropsychological measures was found only in the subject with the minimum dysfunction in this group, with the shortest period of illness, and predominantly right-hemispheric lateralization of the processes.
