Використання апарату термовакуум у фізичній реабілітації при порушеннях постави

Abstract

The article investigates the problem of posture disorders among children, adolescents and adults. The statistics of children in Ukraine aged 0 to 17 years for 2020, who have a violation of posture, are given. The Sanitary Regulations for educational institutions of 2020 are analyzed. In the course of the study, it was found that posture disorders are associated with an incorrect lifestyle, physical characteristics, and environmental influences. Methods for solving the problem by acquiring the habits of correct posture, physiotherapy exercises, massage and physiotherapy are considered. It has been established that only an integrated approach can give positive results. The use of the Thermovacuum apparatus in physical rehabilitation for posture disorders is proposed. The technique of carrying out the combined massage is shown: hardware and manual. It has been found that posture disorder is the position of the human body, in which the spine has irregular or smoothed curvatures. In the sagittal plane, with an increase in physiological distortions of the spine, a stoop, a round back, and a round-concave back are distinguished. While with a decrease in physiological distortions of the spine, a flat and plano-concave back is distinguished. In the frontal plane, an asymmetric (scoliotic) posture is distinguished. It was revealed that posture disorders are divided into three levels: small changes in posture can be overcome, an increase in the number of symptoms for postural disorders that can be corrected by unloading the spine in a horizontal position and disorders that cannot be corrected by unloading the spine. The article provides a stepby-step description of the combined massage procedure with the Thermovacuum apparatus in combination with manual massage, which the author developed in practice. The thermal vacuum massage apparatus with infrared light, which deeply warms up the tissues of the body, is an effective tool that helps to achieve the desired results much faster than with manual massage. The device helps to relax muscles, strengthen the walls of blood vessels and relieve stress from the shoulder girdle. Exploring the topic of posture disorders, we can state that this issue remains relevant today. To prevent the appearance and development of postural disorders in children of preschool and school age, the Ministry of Health of Ukraine approved a new sanitary regulation dated September 25, 2020, which clearly establishes the dimensions of furniture, recommends exercises and maximum load norms.
