КИНЕЗИОТЕЙПИРОВАНИЕ И ВОЗМОЖНОСТЬ ЕГО ПРИМЕНЕНИЯ ПРИ ТРАВМАТИЧЕСКИХ ПОВРЕЖДЕНИЯХ ЧЕЛЮСТНО-ЛИЦЕВОЙ ОБЛАСТИ

Abstract

Subject. A literature review is devoted to the urgent problem of maxillofacial surgery and surgical dentistry ― improving the efficiency of rehabilitation of patients with fractures of the lower jaw using kinesiotape.
 The goal is to study the materials of publications devoted to kinesiotape during traumatic injuries of the maxillofacial region.
 Methodology. The mechanisms of action of a kinesiological teip applied in the form of applications on the skin are described in detail, which lead to the creation of favorable conditions for sanogenetic processes that are realized in normalizing microcirculation, reducing edema and the severity of pain. An increase in the number of publications on the use of this method in the prevention and treatment of injuries of the musculoskeletal system in athletes was noted. Moreover, at present, kinesioteiping is also used in clinical medicine, for example, in the practice of neurology and orthopedics. According to modern scientific research, the use of kinesiotape in patients with chronic back pain, subacromial impingement syndrome, acute whiplash injury of the cervical spine can significantly reduce the severity of pain.
 Results. Despite the rather widespread use of the method of kinesiotapeing in sports and clinical medicine, in the available literature there is a small number of works devoted to its use in maxillofacial surgery, in particular for fractures of the lower jaw. The use of the method of kinesiotherapy after surgery for osteosynthesis of fragments of the lower jaw has significantly reduced the level of inflammatory edema and the intensity of the pain syndrome.
 Conclusions. The presented literature review results indicate that kinesiotherapy is a promising, simple, non-traumatic method of rehabilitation after surgical treatment of lower jaw fractures, which does not have side effects and complications and significantly improves the quality of life of patients.
 However, scientific studies devoted to the analysis of the use of kinesiotherapy for traumatic injuries of the maxillofacial region are not enough for this period.
