 Development of neurophysiological criteria for prediction of motor functions recovery in patients after acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (AIDP) is a priority for modern medicine. The influence of neural conduction reactivity on acute ischemia in children with AIDP was used to study the criteria for the disease outcome prediction. Electro-neuromyography with tourniquet test was implemented in 55 children in the control group and 46 children with AIDP in catamnesis (both aged 7-17 y.o.). In children in the acute period of AIDP, the values of neural conduction reactivity of the ulnar nerve after 10 minutes of ischemia ≤3.1% serve as an indication of the recovery period of walking ability (>1 month).

Key words: acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, children, electro-neuromyography.
