Carboxytherapy for the elimination of pain symptoms (or arthralgia) among the elderly persons with the pathology of the temporomandibular joint.

Temporomandibular arthralgia is difficult to treat, painful and often relapses. 48 patients (19 men and 29 women) aged 61-72 years, suffering from the syndrome of pain dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint, were under observation. In 1st (control) group of patients (18 people), NSAIDs indomethacin in tablet form of 25 mg 3 times a day were used for 9 days.

[Physical rehabilitation for ankle joint injuries in elderly and elderly people (Stage 2).].

The main part of the injuries of elderly and senile patients as a result of physical activity falls on the lower limbs, due to the increased load during movement. Ankle injuries have a multifactorial etiology involving the interaction of compensatory spinal and leg biomechanics, environmental factors, and shoe selection. In this regard, it is necessary to prepare a complex of rehabilitation measures, including physical therapy, with the possibility of implementing the recovery process not only on an outpatient basis, but also at home, thereby improving the quality of life and preventing disability.

[Physical rehabilitation for ankle joint injuries in elderly and elderly people (Stage 1).].

A multidisciplinary approach to recovery after injuries of the ankle joint in elderly and senile people by specialists of various profiles using drug and non-drug methods is especially relevant today. It is required to develop and put into practice various options for the combined use of physical rehabilitation means at different stages of the rehabilitation treatment of elderly and senile patients with this pathology. The study revealed no significant complications and side effects when using this technique, which allows us to recommend it as a means of secondary prevention and injuries of the ankle joint, especially with contraindications to the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and glucocorticosteroids.

Male patients (35-74 years old) with functional pathology of the temporomandibular joint were under observation. The study showed a significant decrease in bone density and correlation of this index with the severity of the disease course in all patients with temporomandibular joint dysfunction compared with the control group of healthy subjects.

[Periodontal status and possibilities of its optimization in elderly patients.].

The study consists in studying the state of oral hygiene and periodontal tissues in elderly patients during dynamic follow-up for 12 months.

The dynamics of clinical manifestations of osteochondrosis after rehabilitation treatment relative to the age of patients in groups showed that the effectiveness of the technique is much higher in elderly patients, in contrast to senile patients and centenarians. The study revealed no significant complications and side effects when using this technique, which allows us to recommend it as a means of secondary prevention of diseases of the cervical and thoracic osteochondrosis, especially in the presence of contraindications to the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and glucocorticoids.

[Physical rehabilitation for osteochondrosis of the cervical and thoracic spine in elderly and senile people (Stage 2).].

The main and most frequently used means of physical rehabilitation for osteochondrosis of the cervical and thoracic spine is motor rehabilitation. The goals of physical rehabilitation of persons suffering from osteochondrosis are to strengthen the muscles of the back, reduce the load on the intervertebral discs, improve blood circulation, restore a normal motor stereotype and, as a result, reduce pain. The use of means of motor rehabilitation is scientifically substantiated, the mechanisms of their effect on the functional state of the body have been studied, and the effectiveness of their use is beyond doubt.
