Рrogram of physical and sports rehabilitation of military servicemen after amputation of the lower extremities in the rehabilitation center

Abstract

Loss of a limb as a result of combat trauma is one of the leading causes of amputation in most countries of the world. The relevance of this problem in Ukraine is connected with the beginning of military operations as a result of Russian aggression. The purpose of the article was to describe the features of the program of physical and sports rehabilitation of military personnel after amputation of the lower limbs in the rehabilitation center. Scientific publications on physical and sports rehabilitation of military personnel after amputation of the lower limbs in the rehabilitation center were analyzed. It is noted that the majority of amputees are recognized as disabled of the I and II groups, and only in the case of successful prosthetics and return to work, they are transferred to the III disability group. The principles, methods and tasks of physical and sports rehabilitation of military personnel after amputation of the lower limbs in the rehabilitation center are defined. In order to create a program of physical and sports rehabilitation of servicemen after amputation of the lower limbs in the rehabilitation center, we first defined its main tasks: increasing the level of physical performance and motor activity, developing strength and endurance, stimulating the processes of adaptation of functional systems to the new conditions of movement of servicemen. Special tasks were determined by evaluations of locomotion defects and required an individual methodical approach in each case. It is indicated that the program of physical and sports rehabilitation of military personnel after amputation of the lower limbs in the rehabilitation center was developed as a single cycle, and it included the following means of physical and sports rehabilitation: complexes of general strengthening and special physical exercises, dosed walking on a prosthesis, classes on simulators. These tools were complemented by independent classes, morning hygienic gymnastics, post-isometric relaxation, mobile and sports games, and psychological influence. A conclusion was made about the necessity of applying the proposed program of physical and sports rehabilitation of military personnel after amputation of the lower limbs in the rehabilitation center.
