Abstract

Purpose: to study the effectiveness of the developed physical therapy program on the parameters of the functional state of the hip in elderly people with coxarthrosis and sarcopenic obesity. Materials and methods. 68 elderly people with coxarthrosis and sarcopenic obesity were examined. Representatives of the comparison group (33 people) corrected the osteoarthritis according to the clinical guideline “Osteoarthrosis”. Representatives of the main group (35 people) for three months were engaged in a physical therapy program using therapeutic exercises, functional training, Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation, massage, kinesiological taping, shock wave therapy, nutrition correction, patient education. The effectiveness of the program was evaluated by visual analog pain scale, goniometry, Modified Harris Hip Score, Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score. Results. The developed program of physical therapy revealed a statistical improvement due to the impact on the components of hip dysfunction due to the improvement of its amplitude of movements (goniometry), reduction of pain (visual analog scale), expansion of motor functional capabilities when performing activities (Modified Harris Hip Score and Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score) in comparison with the initial indicators (p < 0,05). Patients of the comparison group achieved a statistically significant improvement relative to the initial state according to the studied indicators (p < 0,05) less pronounced compared to the tested program. Conclusions. Elderly patients with coxarthrosis and sarcopenic obesity need the development of physical therapy programs taking into account and correcting the specifics of each condition, the presence of movement limitations caused by a violation of the functional state of the hip.
