Today there is a need to develop a method of hydrokinesis therapy as a means of gradual formation of motor skills in children with spastic diplegia of cerebral palsy of the chronic-residual stage of the disease in a comprehensive program of physical rehabilitation. The purpose of the study is to develop a method of hydrokinesis therapy for children 3-5 years with cerebral palsy of spastic form. The main novelties of the developed technique of hydrokinesis therapy: development of application of complexes of exercises in hydrokinesis therapy, which differs in structure from the generally accepted methods for patients with cerebral palsy of spastic form in the chronic-residual stage of the disease; combination of means of physical rehabilitation with the technique of hydrokinesis therapy during the annual cycle. The study involved 24 children 3-5 years of age with a diagnosis of "cerebral palsy, spastic diplegia" of the chronic-residual stage of the disease of moderate severity. To achieve this goal, theoretical analysis and generalization of data from scientific and methodological literature were used; pedagogical experiment and observation; medical and biological methods (used anthropometry and Pinier index; goniometry, assessment of basic motor functions (ABMF) on the Likert scale, muscle tone on the Ashfort scale, muscle strength on the Lovett scale; assessment of manipulative activity and speed response of the hands on trapping- the test made it possible to determine the level of development of fine motor skills); sociological methods (surveys of parents on questionnaires of social and emotional state and level of children's play activities); methods of mathematical statistics were used to process the actual experimental material, assess the reliability of the data. There were significant (p <0.01) changes in the indicators of social and emotional state in children with main group (MG) by 15.5%, in comparative group (CG) - by 11.7%, and there was a slight improvement in play activity in children with MG by 9.6%, in CG - by 5.75%. The developed method of hydrokinesiotherapy is effective and helps to improve the functions of general and fine motor skills, socio-emotional state and the level of activity of play activities of children 3-5 years with cerebral palsy of spastic form.
Aim: The objective of the article is to demonstrate the research on the effectiveness of physical therapy in renewal of health of women with alimentary-constitutional type of I degree obesity. The task was also to study the initial level of obesity of women, to develop the structure of the therapeutic rehabilitation complex, to implement the developed programme of physical therapy and evaluate its effectiveness. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted for six months on the basis of a sports and recreation complex, which includes a gym, aerobics and a swimming pool with professional equipment. It was attended by 40 people aged from 33 to 56, with overweight and obesity of I degree. They were divided into two groups: the main (20 people) and control (20 people). The main group used a set of strength physical exercises of aerobic and anaerobic types, diet therapy andconstant online psychological support. The women in the control group performed the standard set of physical exercises that are usually offered in sports facilities and ate at their own discretion. We also used elements of therapeutic exercise to increase energy expenditure, reduce excess weight and strengthen muscles, restore and maintain physical and professional performance. There wereno people with serious disorders of the cardiovascular, endocrine and other body systems among the participants of the study. Results: During the therapeutic programme, we performed monthly control measurements of body parameters and body weight in order to monitor their dynamics and compare it with that in the control group, which was engaged in the standard complex. At the beginning of the study, the results in both groups were quite positive, after some time the rate of weight loss began to slow down, and in the control group, among some participants it even worsened – the weight returned. 6 months after the initial control, a final control of both groups of women of second adulthood was performed. When comparing the data obtained before and after rehabilitation measures, we observed a significant decrease in body weight in individuals of the study group in contrast to the control, where there was a decrease in body weight, but it was statistically insignificant. Analysis of the dynamics of monthly weight loss for the entire rehabilitation period showed that in the control group there was a decrease in body weight in the first and second months of the rehabilitation complex, relative to the main group, then the dynamics was marked by significant weight loss in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd month. Conclusions: Based on the obtained results, we proved the high efficiency of the proposed therapeutic and rehabilitation complex (combination of diet therapy, exercises of aerobic and anaerobic directions) for the treatment of persons with I degree of obesity (significantly reduced body weight and reduced the size of body parts). Rehabilitation measures used in our study activate metabolic processes, increase energy expenditure, reduce excess body weight, strengthen the body. By following a healthy lifestyle, eating rationally, you can prevent a number of diseases, improve efficiency and general well-being, avoid premature aging. Physical therapy of obese patients requires a combination of dietary and physiotherapeutic methods (massage, physiotherapy, psychological training), which allows to achieve sustainable weight loss for a long period.
The purpose of the article is to reveal the peculiarities of the neurovegetative status of children of senior preschool age. The article exposes the importance of the autonomic nervous system, features of electrical activity, cerebral blood flow on functioning of the child’s body. Childhood is a sensitive period of development of many neurophysiological and physiological functions. In children the electrical activity of the brain can be considered as an indicator of general properties of the nervous system and takes the leading place in the structure of the neurodynamic constitution of a person and some individual-psychological differences underlying them. Prolonged psycho-emotional overstrain, a high level of personal anxiety in children and the etiological factor cause increased activity of adaptation-compensatory reactions, in which the most important role is played by the autonomic nervous system. Disturbances of neurovegetative regulation, occurring practically in all diseases, under the influence of a huge number of damaging factors are nonspecific, adaptive-compensatory. In children, psycho-vegetative syndrome, characterized by a combination of psycho-emotional and vegetative disorders is encountered in most cases.
In our work, we conducted research and analysis of the components of physical health of students of pedagogical specialties. To this end, the vital and strength indices, the Robinson and Rufier indices, and the height-to-weight ratio were determined. The article also confirms the hypothesis that the physical health and the neurophysiological (psychological) state are related and mutually determined, but not in the direct proportion, depending on the type of index and aspect of self-esteem. Specific results were obtained by comparing physical health indices with subjective feelings of psychological or neurophysiological discomfort. Data saturation and their analysis were conducted using the following methods: anthropometry; spirometry; dynamometry; tonometry; functional tests; mathematical and statistical analysis, as well as questionnaires developed by the authors of subjective assessment of their own condition, which were offered remotely. The research was performed on the basis of Khmelnytskyi Humanitarian-Pedagogical Academy at the Department of Physical Culture and Valeology.The experimental part was performed with the participation of students of 1-4 years of three specialties with a total of 118 people, of which 100 were girls and 18 were boys aged 17 to 21 years (region – Ukraine). The average sample values for girls of the Rufier, Robinson, and “strength” indexes were below average; “vital” and “height-to-weight” indices are defined at the average level. Averaged values for the sample for boys were the following: high are “strength” and “height-to-weight” levels; the Robinson index is low, and the Rufier and “vital” indices are below average. The international significance of the article lies in the fact that for the first time the objective and subjective health indices stated by the interviewers have been measured comparatively. The authors' original contribution is determined by unexpected results obtained by correlating physical indices with subjective physiological and neurophysiological health parameters in young boys and girls.
Автори статті звертають увагу вчителів середньої школи на важливу роль шкільних курсів фізики і математики у формуванні якісної освіти майбутніх лікарів. Завданням публікації є відображення значення базових знань з таких дисциплін, як фізика і математика для аналітичного мислення, вивчення науково-природничих дисциплін, а саме: медичної і біологічної фізики, біологічної фізики і фізичних методів аналізу, вищої математики і статистики, у медичних університетах та аналізу отриманих результатівдля діагностичного дослідження живої системи. Застосовані такі методи дослідження: теоретичні аналіз наукових публікацій з даного питання; практичні аналіз тестів вхідного контролю знань студентів першого курсу з фізики і математики. Проведене дослідження виявило наявність у значної кількості студентів низького базового рівня знань з фізики і математики, що ускладнює розуміння і засвоєння ними відповідних курсів у медичному університеті. Вказано на значення знань з фізики і математики для потреб практичної медицини. Підкреслюється, що здобутки медицини нерозривно пов’язані з науковими здобутками фізики і розвитком техніки. Це формує мотивацію для успішного опанування фізики і математики школярами, які вибирають професію лікаря, стоматолога чи фармацевта. З нашої точки зору, важливим фактором, якиймає вплинути на ставлення школярів до вивчення фізики і математики, є змінамотивуючих методик викладання з акцентом на практичне використання відповідних знань у повсякденному житті та для майбутньої професійної діяльності.
