Study of Psychophysiological Indicators of Sensorimotor Integration in PTSD. Justification of the Choice of Targets for Biofeedback
摘要
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is an actual medicosocial problem. The pathogenesis of PTSD is closely related to impairment of sensorimotor integration (SMI). The effectiveness of psychosomatic disorder therapy for PTSD rehabilitation can be improved by restoring normal sensorimotor integration. The review examines various autonomic, electro-physiological, and postural markers of high sensory motor integration in highly skilled athletes and musicians, as well as impairment of these indices in persons with PTSD. We have established that the most accessible and informative indicators of SMI are: an increase in EEG power in the individually adjusted high-frequency alpha-band, a reduction in energy demands for posture control and a decrease in the electromyographic activity of redundant muscles, not involved in a dual motor-cognitive task. In the future, it is planned to use these indicators to diagnose stress disorders and to develop sensorimotor integration recovery training in patients with PTSD.
