НЕТРАДИЦІЙНІ ЗАСОБИ ВІДНОВЛЕННЯ ПРИ ФІЗИЧНІЙ РЕАБІЛІТАЦІЇ ХВОРИХ ПІСЛЯ ПЕРЕЛОМУ ХРЕБТА

Abstract

Introduction. Motor rehabilitation of patients with lower paraplegia syndrome is a part of medical rehabilitation measures set. The physical rehabilitation plan is built taking into account the predicted level of compensation of locomotor functions, which depends on the injury time, the level and the degree of damage. The complex of restorative conservative treatment includes in various combinations such tools as medical physical education, massage, physiotherapy, electrical stimulation of muscles, mechanotherapy, manual therapy and orthosis. These tools of physical rehabilitation require rational integration in the rehabilitation complex. Research hypothesis of the study is that using of the proposed rehabilitation complex will improve the psychophysical condition in patients after a fracture of the spine. Aim of the study: To substantiate and develop a comprehensive program of physical rehabilitation using nontraditional tools for patients after spinal fracture and to evaluate its effectiveness. Material and methods of research. We examined 7 men and 5 women in age from 30 to 50 who underwent physical rehabilitation in a fitness center. The rehabilitation complex contained such tools of physical rehabilitation as therapeutic gymnastics, classical massage, physiotherapy, mechanotherapy, mud treatment and heat treatment (sauna). Aromatherapy (with essential oils of eucalyptus, juniper or lavender), apitherapy (using honey massage), samurai massage (bamboo brooms) and stone massage (hot and cold stones) were additionally used as non-traditional means during the massage. Results. Analysis of the Spielberger-Hanin Anxiety Diagnostic Test, the Recovery Locus of Control Questionnaire, and the evaluation of the locomotor function by the Houser Walking Index have shown positive dynamics. Conclusions. The effectiveness of a 30-day rehabilitation course aimed at restoring the motor activity of the paretic limbs at the fitness center has been proved.
