The use of physical exercises in restoring the health of young children with congenital pathology of the hip joints in rehabilitation centers

Abstract

The analysis of scientific literature shows that the leading place in the development of methods of restoring the health of young children with congenital pathology of the hip joints in rehabilitation centers is occupied by the use of physical exercises and massage, and the most progressive methods of rehabilitation today are the use of osteopathic techniques and kinesiotaping.
 The tasks of using physical exercises to restore the health of young children with congenital hip joint pathology in rehabilitation centers include: prevention and elimination of thigh muscle contracture; formation of hip joints, restoration of their shape, fixation of joints in the position of maximum correction; strengthening of the muscles that produce movement in the hip joints (flexion, extension, abduction, inward rotation); full development of active movements in hip joints; correction of the valgus position of the knee and ankle joints, which occurs during treatment with the use of tires.
 The most important task of using physical exercises is to relieve tension and strengthen the muscles of the hip joint, restore the range of motion as much as possible and organize the motor activity of the child for its full and harmonious physical development. Physical exercises, which are divided into general developmental and special, begin to be used from the beginning of a child's life as reflex exercises taking into account his psychomotor development. Special exercises contribute to the improvement of trophic processes in the hip joints, thigh muscles and buttocks. Taking into account the age of the child, passive (up to a year) and active exercises (from 1 to 3 years) are used. Kinesiotherapy in the rehabilitation of children with congenital dislocation of the hip is the main means of forming a healthy joint and the only means of supporting motor development. The use of physical exercises in water is characterized by a positive combination of physical therapy, aqua massage and relaxation. Hydrokinesitherapy for children is the most effective and affordable means of physical development and rehabilitation.
