METHOD OF CONSERVATIVE TREATMENT OF ORTHOPAEDIC PATHOLOGY Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC A61F5/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: method involves step-by-step adjustment of an orthopaedic compensator to ensure minimum area and dimensions of statokinesiogram. A pathology type is predetermined. The compensator is chosen according to the detected pathology by alignment of the patient's statokinesiogram. 20-40 days after the beginning of carrying of the compensator, diagnostic re-examination and compensator correction follow. The compensators are used as tips on shoe soles. When detecting a length difference of lower limbs, a rectangular compensator is prescribed as tips on shoe soles. In case of detecting a neurological pathology, vibration velocity of pressure point is additionally minimised when choosing a compensator; a long angular compensator is prescribed under the whole foot, and (or) a short angular compensator is arranged under calcaneal region.

EFFECT: reduced time of compensator selection, enhanced method for equinus foot in orthopaedic and neurological patients, eliminated subjective factor in compensator selection for correction of all types of locomotor pathologies, ensured stable and evident clinical effect, both during hospitalisation of the patient, and in particular during an interhospitalisation period in the absence of direct care.
