THE INFLUENCE OF CYCLIC TRAINING WITH THE USE OF A “LOKOMAT” ROBOTIC DEVICE ON THE CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM OF THE PATIENTS SUFFERING AFTEREFFECTS OF THE SPINAL CORD INJURY

Makarova M.R., Lyadov K.V., Shapovalenko T.V.

Abstract

Changes of central and peripheral hemodynamics in 67 patients presenting with traumatic disease of the spinal cord (TDSC) were estimated during the chronic rehabilitative period. The patients performed walking exercises in a “Lokomat” robotic-assisted system during 30 minutes after which their arterial pressure, cardiac activity, and vascular characteristics were measured. The reaction of the cardiovascular system to physical exercises was shown to depend on the location of the injury to the spinal cord. It was most pronounced in the patients suffering the damage to the inferior thoracic and lumbar segments of the spinal column. In the patients having the injury localized at a higher level, the abnormal reaction of the cardiovascular system to exercises took place. These observations suggest the development of the compensatory mechanisms of adaptation to passive walking in the patients with serious locomotor disturbances resulting from the spinal cord injury. It is concluded that walking exercises with the use of a “Lokomat” robotic-assisted system may serve as a mode of training the cardiovascular system in the patients with the damaged spinal cord.

THE USE OF ELECTROMYOSTIMULATION FOR THE PREVENTION OF VENOUS THROMBOEMBOLIC COMPLICATIONS

Laberko L.A., Barinov V.E., Lobastov K.V., Gorshkov K.M., Asratyan S.A.

Abstract

This paper reports the results of the prospective uncontrolled study having the objective to preliminarily estimate the efficacy of the combined prophylactic treatment of postoperative venous thromboembolic complications. To this effect, the method of electrical stimulation of venous outflow was employed. The study included 30 patients undergoing general surgical or neurosurgical treatment referred to a group at high risk of venous thromboembolism in the postoperative period. The prophylactic treatment consisted of the placement of a graded compression bandage using moderate-stretch bandages and electrical stimulation of the calf muscles with the help of a “Veinopulse” apparatus (up to 5 sessions per day). All together, 73% of the patients received prophylactic doses of anticoagulation agents. None of them developed pulmonary thromboembolism. Deep vein thrombosis of the lower extremities was documented only in one patient. It is concluded that the frequency of postoperative venous thromboembolic complications under conditions of the proposed combined prophylactic treatment does not exceed 3.3% which is significantly lower than that reported for such patients in the literature.

THE USE OF INFRARED LASER THERAPY FOR THE COMBINED TREATMENT OF INTERVERTEBRAL DISK HERNIAS IN THE LUMBOSACRAL SEGMENT OF THE SPINAL COLUMN

Petrova N.N., Gerasimenko M.Y.

Abstract

The present study included 92 patients aged from 22 to 70 years presenting with intervertebral disk hernias in the lumbosacral segment of the spinal column. They were treated using different laserotherapeutic modalities within 2-3 days after surgical intervention (interlaminectomy and treatment of posterior interspinous dynamic spondylosis with the use of a Diam stabilization system). It was shown that infrared laser irradiation alleviated pain syndrome, eliminated neurologic deficit, and promoted correction of asymmetry in the bioelectrical activity of the muscles of the lower extremities with a simultaneous increase of their functional activity and improvement of hemodynamics. Laser irradiation of the respective vascular-nervous bundle (transcutaneous blood irradiation) and of the postoperative field (along the sciatic nerve) produced a more pronounced therapeutic effect than paravertebral irradiation and irradiation at the trigger points.

THE MODERN VARIANT OF TRANSCRANIAL ELECTRICAL STIMULATION FOR THE TREATMENT OF PATIENTS PRESENTING WITH DORSOPATHIES

Keskin K.A., Lyadov K.V., Makarova M.R.

Abstract

The present work was devoted to the treatment of patients suffering dorsopathy of the lumbar vertebral column using transcranial electrical stimulation and auricular electrical stimulation techniques. The study included 90 patients (41 women and 49 men) aged from 26 to 52 years presenting with lumbosacral dorsopathy in the phase of prolonged exacerbation. The patients were allocated to 3 groups of 30 subjects each. Those in group 1 were treated by transcranial electrical stimulation (TES) (in addition to basal therapy) using the standard scheme with the temporal placement of electrodes. The patients of group 2 underwent electrical stimulation with the use of auricular sensors. Each course of electrical stimulation consisted of 10 procedures (20 min each) performed every other day. The control patients (group 3) were given only standard basal-therapy including the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents, segmental massage, and remedial gymnastics. Clinical manifestations of the disease, psychoemotional status of the patients (well-being/activity/mood test and multifactor personality test), and peripheral hemodynamics in the lower extremities were estimated. The stable therapeutic effect was achieved in 50-70% of the patients in groups 1 and 2. It was apparent after 4.6 and 6.7 procedures in the patients presenting with reflex and radicular syndromes respectively. No adverse effects of the treatment were documented. The results of the study confirm the advantages of the auricular variant of transcranial electrical stimulation that appears to potentiate therapeutic effects of physiotherapy and reflexotherapy.

THE EFFICACY OF MAGNTEOTHERAPY IN REHABILITATION OF THE PATIENTS PRESENTING WITH ACUTE ENDOMETRITIS

Kulikov A.G., Yarustovskaya O.V., Fedorova E.P.

Abstract

This paper summarizes the experience with the rehabilitative treatment of 103 patients who developed acute endometritis following spontaneous abortion in the first trimester of pregnancy. It was shown that the early introduction of magnetotherapy in the rehabilitation program improves the efficacy of the combined therapeutic and rehabilitative treatment. In a sense, the proposed approach can be regarded as a method for the prevention of subsequent disturbances of the reproductive function in the patients with acute endometritis.

THE INFLUENCE OF LASER THERAPY ON THE FUNCTIONAL STATE OF PLATELETS AND THE FIBRINOLYTIC SYSTEM IN THE PATIENTS PRESENTING WITH CHRONIC PANCREATITIS

Yuldasheva G.R., Khamrabaeva F.I., Khadzhimetov A.A.

Abstract

A total of 85 patients at the age from 36 to 77 years presenting with chronic pancreatitis were available for the examination. In all of them, conservative therapy was supplemented by a course laser therapy (10 sessions of irradiation at a wavelength of 0.63 mcm and power flux density 0.15-0.3 mW/cm A2 for 2-3 minutes daily). An immunoassay was used to determine the plasma level and activity of tissue plasminogen activator and concentration of its inhibitor. It was shown that both the sum of activated forms of platelets and the number of platelets undergoing aggregation (relative percent of aggregation being 72.4 ± 2.3%) increased in the examined patients which may suggest initiation of intravascular activation of platelets.

THE INFLUENCE OF GENERAL AIR-CRYOTHERAPY ON THE ANTIOXIDANT STATUS OF BLOOD

Khodarev N.V., Zhemchuzhnova N.L., Olempieva E.V., Zhinko M.N., Neshin S.G.

Abstract

The present clinical and laboratory study included practically healthy volunteers aged from 24 to 33 years whose antioxidant status was estimated before and after the course of general air-cryotherapy. It was shown that the compensatory and adaptive reactions controlling mechanisms of thermoregulation developed after the completion of seven air-cryotherapeutic procedures. Elevation of functional activity of all components of the protective antioxidative system occurred after the 10th procedure. These findings give evidence of the stimulatory effect of the proposed physiotherapeutic modality on the adaptive potential and adaptive resources of the human body. It can be recommended for clinical application as a prophylactic tool for the maintenance of the adequate antioxidant status of blood.

DOCTOR A.S. ZALMANOV AND HIS TURPENTINE BATHS

Dovganyuk A.P.

Abstract

The life and activities of A.S. Zalmanov, an outstanding Russian scientist and physician, are briefly outlined. Zalmanov is described as a pioneer of capillarotherapy based on the use of turpentine baths for the achievement of high therapeutic effect during the treatment of the patients presenting with various chronic diseases. The turpentine bath technology makes use of the natural pine essential oils and terpenes that effectively penetrate into the surface skin layers where they exert non-specific irritating effect, induce the release of active biological substances, stimulate functioning of capillaries, and thereby increase resistance of the body to the action adverse environmental factors. The methods for the preparation of turpentine baths using “white” emulsions and “yellow” solutions and their influence on different systems of the body are described. Recommendations are proposed for the application of such baths under practical clinical conditions based on A.S. Zalmanov’s methods and on the relevant experience gained at the Central Institute of Balneotherapeutics and Physiotherapy in the subsequent years. Indications and contraindications for the use of turpentine baths are discussed.

PECULIARITIES OF PHYSIOTHERAPY AS A COMPONENT OF THE COMBINED TREATMENT OF AGED PATIENTS

Erokhina G.A.

Abstract

The main principles and peculiar features of the practical application of instrumental physiotherapeutic techniques are considered with special reference to the treatment of aged and elderly subjects. The rationale is proposed for the preferential use of preformed physical factors in whose mechanisms of action the thermal component plays either a negligible role or none at all. Certain specific features of the local or systemic action of physical factors on the organism of aged or elderly patients are discussed. It is emphasized that the introduction of physiotherapeutic methods and procedures in the combined treatment of such patients improves both its efficacy and quality; moreover, it prolongs the duration of the remission period. It is shown that the combination of physio-and balneotherapeutic modalities with traditional medicamental therapy gives marked positive effect in prophylaxis of certain diseases, slows down the process of ageing, and makes it possible to increase not only life expectancy but also the period of creative activity.
