Aim. To study the biomechanical peculiarities of orthopedic disorders in patients after cerebral stroke and estimate possibilities for their correction. Materials and methods. One hundred and thirty two persons in the late rehabilitation period after the cerebral stroke were examined. The state of loco-motor system biomechanics was assessed, using the rehabilitation complexes “TRUST-M” and “ST-150”. Results. The late rehabilitation period of stroke was characterized by decrease in walking rate and time, rise in step cycle. Speed of movement was disturbed. Combined pain, spasticity, contracture and functional asymmetry of the extremities length determined the formation of individual variant of patient’s pathological locomotor stereotype. When implementing correlation analysis, marked correlation between the severity of orthopedic disorders and the asymmetry of pelvis and extremities length was detected. To correct biomechanical disorders, it was recommended to use complex orthopedic treatment by means of prosthetic-orthopedic devices, which permitted to move and provided stable holding of extremity segments in the desired position. Conclusion. 1. Biomechanical indices characterize the severity of orthopedic pathology in the late rehabilitation period following cerebral stroke. 2. Biomechanical disorders are connected with decreased walking rate and time, raised step cycle, impaired speed of movement. 3. Timely biomechanical orthopedic diagnosis and adequacy of applying prosthetic-orthopedic devices guarantee efficiency of rehabilitation measures in patients after cerebral stroke.
Aim. To present in details the surgical tactics in different periods of traumatic disease (TD) for associated chest injury. Materials and methods. Treatment of 865 patients with associated injuries was analyzed. There were 66.9 % of men (579 persons) and 33.1 % of women. Automobile traumatism dominated. The central and peripheral hemodynamics as well as vegetative disorders were investigated. The blood viscosity and toxicity, lipid metabolism etc. were determined. Results. The characteristic features of the course of acute and the following periods of traumatic disease in associated chest injury, taking into account the revealed complications, expression of circulatory, hypoxic, metabolic and toxic changes, were studied. The logic of surgical tactics in different periods of traumatic disease was presented. Complications and errors when treating patients were analyzed. Conclusions. Treatment of injured patients, suffering from associated chest trauma in the acute and following periods of TD is subjected to logic of surgical tactics, taking into account prognostication of occurring possible complications and their prevention.
Aim. To analyze the results of various types of surgical interventions, used in elderly patients with deforming arthrosis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint of the foot. Materials and methods. The long-term results of treatment of osteoarthrosis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint of the foot were analyzed in 70 elderly persons depending on the stage of disease. Clinical, roentgenological investigation, biomechanical and statistical methods were used for diagnosis and treatment. Results. Surgical tactics of treatment for elderly patients depending on the stage of disease was developed, outcomes of surgical treatment were followed up in 55 patients. Good results were reached in 47 (85.4 %) patients, satisfactory – in 8 (15.6 %) patients, no unsatisfactory results were noted. Conclusions. Differentiated approach to treatment depends on the choice of optimal method in each concrete case taking into account the stage of disease, character of deformity; early complex postoperative rehabilitation permits to obtain favorable cosmetic and functional outcome, improve patients’ quality of life.
