[The integral estimation of health problems and effectiveness of stage rehabilitation in patients after ischemic stroke].

Unlabelled: The multidisciplinary assessment of health problems after stroke should take into account not only motor, speech disorders, disability, but also postural balance, type and level of mental disorders, degree of working hand dysfunctions, cortical motor neuron functional indicators, and risk factors for recurrent stroke.

Objective: To develop a methodology for the integrated assessment of health problems and the effectiveness of stage rehabilitation in patients after ischemic stroke (IS) and risk factors for recurrent stroke.

Material And Methods: Examinations were made in 101 patients (mean age 59.

[The specific features of the clinical, functional and psychological status of the patients during the early and late restorative periods of ischemic stroke].

Background: When choosing the algorithm of rehabilitative measures, the localization of the stroke, brain reserve, and neuroplasticity as well as clinical characteristics (motor, postural, speech, cognitive impairments), etc. are taken into consideration. Monitoring the health status of the patients is an integral component of and an important condition for the successful post-stroke rehabilitation.

[The comprehensive approach to the rehabilitative treatment of junior athletes].

Aim: The objective of the present study was the development of the comprehensive program for the medico-psychological follow-up of the male and female junior athletes (rhythmic gymnastics) with the purpose of stabilizing their hormonal and emotional status, as well as improving sport performances based on the use of modern hardware-software technologies.

Material And Methods: The comprehensive examination of 72 female athletes at the mean age of 11.5±0.

[The medical and psychological support for the child athletes during different periods of the training cycle].

Objective: To study dynamics of the indicators of the hormonal and psychological status as well as psychological features of significance for the sportive performance under conditions of rehabilitative treatment during training and post-training periods in the child athlete engaged in rhythmic gymnastics.

Material And Methods: The study included 42 child athletes at the age from 8 to 15 years engaged in rhythmic gymnastics. The children of the study group (group 1, n=17) received the combined restorative treatment under conditions of regular training while those comprising group 2 group (n=25) were given a similar treatment in the absence of the training load.

[The clinical and functional rationale for the application of the baths containing the Siberian Stag velvet antler extracts in the rehabilitative treatment of the patients presenting with arterial hypertension and concomitant chronic psychoemothional overtension].

We have developed the method for the treatment of the patients presenting with arterial hypertension and concomitant chronic psychoemothional overtension. The method consists of the application of the baths containing the Siberian Stag velvet antler extracts in combination with exercise therapy and massage. A total of 35 patients with arterial hypertension and concomitant chronic psychoemothional overtension were enrolled in the study.

[Gender analysis of efficiency provided by general bath containing antlers of Siberian stags in skiers].

The authors performed gender analysis of efficiency caused by general bath containing antlers of Siberian stags in athletes engaged into winter sports. Male athletes demonstrated increased physical performance, low RBC membrane response to epinephrine, decreased cortisol level, higher testosterone level and longer time of breath-holding in Stange's test. Female athletes demonstrated no reliable changes in the mentioned parameters.

[Peculiar features of the clinical and metabolic status and its variations under the influence of rehabilitative treatment in the children with obesity and diffuse non-toxic goiter].

A total of 120 children at the age of 10-15 years presenting with class I-II obesity were available for observation. Fifty two of them suffered diffuse non-toxic goiter. The combination of obesity and diffuse non-toxic goiter was associated with excessive body weight, insulin resistance, disturbances of lipid metabolism, and impaired tolerance of physical exercises.

[Electromagnetic fields of extremely high frequency and radon baths in the treatment of Lyme disease with nervous system lesions].

Patients with borreliosis caused by exodic tick infestation running with affection of the nervous system were exposed to scanning EHF-therapy (59-63 GHz) on biologically active zones of the upper third of the chest, right brachial joint, biologically active points GI4, E36. Also, they took radon baths. The treatment was planned with consideration of the principles of chronotherapy.

[Application of natural and preformed physical factors during medical rehabilitation in participants of military conflicts].

The authors have performed individually adjusted complexes of balneophysiotherapeutic procedures in soldiers and officers who had taken part in local military conflicts. Functional and biochemical investigations show that in those military who had no wounds but had a weak posttraumatic stress reaction the above complexes are rather effective.
