Description
Summary:Annotation. The purpose of thisStudy is to develop a functional training method for lower limb amputees to assist them to stand on prostheses and learn to walk.The hypothesis of thisStudy is the idea that integrating methods of functional training (wave gymnastics, hypoxic training and Key method developed by K. Aliyev) into the rehabilitation program on learning to walk with prostheses will have both mental and physical impact on the patients' organisms and provide for successfu lmastering of walking. Materials and Methods of thisStudy.ThisStudy involved30-60-year-old men after midthigh amputation who took part in an Orthopedic Center Rehabilitation Program aimed at learning to walkwith prostheses within 20 weeks. The Study Methods consist in studying both Russian and foreign scientific works regarding the issues raised in thisStudy, goniometry, methods of functional training level assessment, rheovasography, Spielberger and Hanin test, statistical processing of the data under Student's t-criterion. We extended a regular physical training with A.S.Strelnikova breathing exercises, hypoxic training and Khasai Aliyev Key Method of Mental and Physical State Correction. We also adapted the methods of wave gymnastics on the Agashin ma?hine for lower limb amputees to improve general and peripheral hemodynamic values. We developed a functional training method for lower limb amputees to assist them to stand on prostheses and learn to walk, which has a comprehensive mental and physical impact on patients' organisms and provides for successful mastering of walking with prostheses because it includes elements of wave gymnastics, hypoxic training and K. Aliyev Key method alongside with the physical rehabilitation. One of the most significant results of the 20-week functional training is that the participants of the experimental group can walk on a treadmill within 1-3 minutes without losing right biomechanics.
