Therapeutic physical training (Лфк)

A set of methods of treatment, prevention and medical rehabilitation based on the use of physical exercises, specially selected and methodically developed. With their appointment, the doctor takes into account the characteristics of the disease, the nature, degree and stage of the painful process in systems and organs. At the heart of the therapeutic action of physical exercises are strictly dose-related loads applied to the sick and weakened. There are general training - to strengthen and improve the body as a whole, and special training - aimed at eliminating the impaired functions of certain systems and organs. Gymnastic exercises are classified: a) according to the anatomical principle - for specific muscle groups (muscles of the hands, feet, respiratory, etc.); B) Independence - active (performed completely by the patient himself) and passive (performed by patients with impaired motor function with the help of a healthy limb, or with the help of a methodologist). To accomplish the task, one or another group of exercises is selected (for example, to strengthen the abdominal muscles - exercises in standing, sitting and lying), as a result of which the body adapts to gradually increasing loads and corrects (aligns) caused by the disorder's disease.
The physician prescribes therapeutic exercise, and the physician-specialist in exercise therapy determines the methods of training. Procedures are conducted by the instructor, in especially difficult cases - the doctor on exercise therapy. The use of therapeutic physical training, increasing the effectiveness of complex therapy of patients, accelerates the recovery period and prevents further progression of the disease. It is not necessary to start exercise independently, as this can lead to deterioration of the condition, the technique of the exercises prescribed by the doctor should be strictly observed.
