MEANS OF PHYSICAL THERAPY OF PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC COLITIS WITH HYPOMOTOR SYNDROME AND SEVERE OSTEOCHONDROSIS OF THE LUMBAR SPINE IN THE SANATORIUM

Abstract

Aim of the study: scientific substantiation and improvement of comprehensive program of physical therapy for patients with chronic colitis with hypomotor syndrome and severe osteochondrosis of the lumbar spine in the sanatorium.
Materials and methods. Studies were performed with 30 patients with chronic colitis with hypomotor syndrome and diagnosed severe osteochondrosis of the lumbar spine aged between 45 and 55 years, including 12 men and 18 women. The following research methods were used: determination of physical development indicators, study of intestinal motor function.
Results. According to the survey in patients with chronic colitis with hypomotor syndrome, in addition to clinical manifestations are present: decreased tone of the abdominal muscles, disorders of motor-evacuation function of the intestine, constipation. The most characteristic were the low-amplitude tonic and peristaltic oscillations of the sigmoid colon against the background of increasing the frequency of its tonic contractions, as well as the low-amplitude tonic and peristaltic oscillations of the caecum. After the completion of the course of physical rehabilitation, beside with the improvement of the clinical picture, endurance of the abdominal muscles and bowel motility is improved.
Conclusions. The efficiency of uses complex rehabilitation measures, developed by us, aimed at improving the clinical and laboratory indicators, normalization of the motor-evacuation, secretory functions of the gastrointestinal tract, the neuro-psychic sphere is proved.
