Abstract
Summary Aim: To justify the conception of utilization by physiotherapist the clinical neurophysiological diagnostic tools and procedures as the neurophysiotherapeutic tools and procedures. Objective: The countless number of the human behaviors is the expression of the nervous reflexes (ENR). The ENR development by repetitive physical factor intensify the physiologic Long Term Potentiation (LTP) phenomenon. For neurophysiologist LTP is the value of diagnosis however for the physiotherapist LTP is the effect of therapy. The ENR bioelectrical feature connect in the electrophysiological terms the conceptions of personalized medicine and theradiagnostic with the clinical neurophysiology (CNF) and physiotherapy. Method: The review of articles dealing with utilization of the tools and procedures for CNF examination as the means that intensify the post stroke and post spinal cord injuries neuroplasticity. Results: The diagnostic CNF tools and procedures are utilized as physiotherapeutic ones. This improves the quality of life of the hemiplegics and tetraplegics who become subordinated to others. Such effects are possible thanks to engineering devices produced by industry interested in collaboration between neurophysiologists and rehabilitation bioengineers. However the physiotherapist, who should fulfill the medico-legal requirements in that area, is not educated. Conclusion: Existed situation indices the need to innovate the curriculum of the physiotherapy faculties.
