Peculiarities of physical therapy of patients with neuromuscular dysfunctions

Abstract

The orientation of physical therapy for neuromuscular dysfunctions, the role and place of the components of physical therapy, and the use of technical means were studied. It is shown that in the international database of genetic information there are more than 500 hereditary syndromes with damage to the nervous system, including about 250 nosological forms of neuromuscular pathology. It is important that the difficulty of early diagnosis of these diseases, frequent false primary diagnoses delay the start of treatment and rehabilitation measures, which leads to the development of severe disability. Symptoms of progressive muscular dystrophy appear in different age periods, but more often in childhood and adolescence. Movement disorders become persistent and progress, generalized or local muscle atrophy is revealed during the examination, accompanying diseases of the bone-joint system, internal organs, cardiovascular and neuroendocrine systems, etc. develop. The main part of the work is devoted to the study of the impact of physical therapy on the patient's morphofunctional state and quality of life. It is shown that since 2014, neuromuscular diseases in Ukraine have the status of orphan diseases - the prevalence does not exceed 1:2000. When planning physiotherapeutic measures, it is necessary to proceed from the pathogenesis of the disease: start early, use almost all rehabilitation means - therapeutic physical culture, massage, physiotherapy, orthotics, classes at technical complexes.
