In the rehabilitation of children with spastic diplegia due to cerebral palsy, a new technology based on electrical transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (tSCS) was used. Continuous and rhythmic tSCS was performed during walking. Continuous tSCS was performed at the level of C5-C6 and T11-T12 vertebrae. Rhythmic stimulation of the dorsal roots of the spinal cord was performed at the level of the T12 and L2 vertebrae to activate the motor pools of the flexor/extensor leg muscles in the swing and stance phases, respectively. Fourteen children with spastic diplegia, age 13 ± 2 years, participated in the study. Patients in the study were able to stand and walk independently with the help of a cane/walker or with the assistance of an adult. All patients received standard therapy and locomotor training (20 min per day, 10 days). During locomotor training, tSCS -based technology was used in patients in one group and no tSCS was used in patients in the other group. The effect of tSCS on the parameters of walking over flat surface (acute effect) was determined in all patients before the course. Before and after the course all patients were examined using clinical tests, kinematic characteristics of walking were analyzed. The acute effect of stimulation is manifested in a reduction in the duration of the stance phase, in an increase in the range of motion in the knee joint. After the course in the main group the scores on the motor function change assessment scale (GMFM-88) increased, spasticity decreased, and the distance passed in the 6-minute walk test increased.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Известно, что нейронные сети спинного мозга человека могут продуцировать шагательный паттерн и контролировать позу при нарушении супраспинальных влияний. В реабилитации детей со спастической диплегией вследствие детского церебрального паралича использована новая технология на основе чрескожной электрической стимуляции спинного мозга (ЧЭССМ). Во время ходьбы проводили непрерывную и ритмическую ЧЭССМ. Непрерывную ЧЭССМ проводили на уровне С5-С6 и Т11-Т12 позвонков. Ритмическую стимуляцию дорсальных корешков спинного мозга, проводили на уровне позвонков Т12 и L2 для активации моторных пулов флексорных/экстензорных мышц ног в фазу переноса и опоры, соответственно. В исследовании участвовало 14 детей со спастической диплегией, возраст 13 ± 2 лет. Пациенты, участники исследования, могли самостоятельно стоять и ходить с помощью трости/ходунков или с помощью взрослого. Все пациенты получали стандартную терапию и локомоторные тренировки (20 мин в день, 10 дней). Во время локомоторных тренировок у пациентов одной группы применяли технологию на основе ЧЭССМ, у пациентов другой группы ЧЭССМ не применяли. У всех пациентов перед курсом определяли влияние ЧЭССМ на параметры ходьбы по ровной поверхности (острый эффект). До и после курса всех пациентов обследовали с помощью клинических шкал и тестов, анализировали кинематические характеристики ходьбы. Острый эффект стимуляции проявляется в сокращении длительности фазы опоры, в увеличении объема движений в коленном суставе. После курса в основной группе увеличились баллы по шкале оценки изменений моторных функций (<italic>GMFM</italic>-88), уменьшилась спастичность, увеличилось пройденное расстояние в тесте 6-минутной ходьбы.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>spinal cord</kwd><kwd>stimulation</kwd><kwd>cerebral palsy</kwd><kwd>spastic diplegia</kwd><kwd>walking kinematics</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>спинной мозг</kwd><kwd>стимуляция</kwd><kwd>детский церебральный паралич</kwd><kwd>спастическая диплегия</kwd><kwd>кинематика ходьбы</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><award-group><funding-source><institution-wrap><institution xml:lang="ru">Министерство науки и высшего образования Российской Федерации</institution></institution-wrap><institution-wrap><institution xml:lang="en">Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation</institution></institution-wrap></funding-source><award-id>075-15-2022-303</award-id></award-group></funding-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Vitrikas K., Dalton H., Breish D.
