Application of pulsed low-frequency electrostatic field and physical medicine in rehabilitation of children with post-traumatic arthralgia

Abstract

Damage to the knee joints in children is up to 25% of all injuries of the musculoskeletal system. Currently, physical factors used in medical rehabilitation of children with traumatic injuries of the knee joint are primarily aimed at stopping the inflammatory process, and physiotherapy technologies with a pronounced analgesic, lymphatic drainage effect are not sufficiently developed. For the first time, a new pathogenetically substantiated technology for medical rehabilitation of children with traumatic arthropathy of the knee joint using a pulsed low-frequency electrostatic field was developed. The beneficial effect of a pulsed low-frequency electrostatic field on the indicators of orthopedic status, psychological processes, the state of microcirculation and thermography in the area of damage has been established.
