Medical and social characteristics of people with disability and neuromuscular, skeletal, and movement-related disorders

Abstract

BACKGROUND:Measures of growth are important for creating a construction and expansion system of opportunities for the constituents of the Russian Federation. The need for complex rehabilitation in people with impaired neuromuscular, skeletal, and movement-related functions is still not fully understood. AIM:This pilot study aimed to determine the need for comprehensive rehabilitation of adults with neuromuscular, skeletal, and movement-related functions according to the main indicators of primary disability. MATERIALS AND METHODS:The comparative analysis of the dynamics of newly detected (primary) disabilities in the Russian Federation due to all causes and disorders of neuromuscular, skeletal, and movement-related functions (categories b710b799 according to the International Classification of Functioning, Disabilities and Health) was conducted. Indicators in the Leningrad region were analyzed from 2016 to 2020. RESULTS:The need for rehabilitation in the Leningrad region is lower than that in the whole country. Individuals with neuromuscular, skeletal, and movement-related disorders aged 1844 years need the most intensive rehabilitation. CONCLUSIONS:The results of this study revealed that the decrease in overall primary disability is faster than the decrease in primary disability in the target group. The prevention and rehabilitation of neuromuscular and statodynamic disorders were slower, whereas the need for rehabilitation was higher in the specific-cause group than in the all-cause group.
