FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to field of medicine, namely to neurosurgery and neurology, and can be applied in prevention of bedsores in case of injury of patient's spinal cord. Essence of method lies in placement of patient's chest and head on elastic bed, suspension of pelvis and lower extremities to bedside frames without support of skin on bed surface with subsequent care for body surface and carrying out physiotherapy, massage and exercise therapy for joints of lower extremities. Wire is passed through each wing of ilium and each femoral and tibial bone in frontal plane. Ends of each wire are fixed in arc of rigid material. Arcs are fixed to bedside frames by means of connecting elements with possibility of changing position of lower extremities in space. Arcs of pelvis are fixed to common transverse telescopic strut, arcs of femoral and tibial bones are suspended with possibility of separate change of position of each lower extremity. After that, threads are passed throughfree edges of nails of toes. Free ends of threads are connected through distributor with arc of homonymous shin.
EFFECT: application of claimed invention makes it possible to reduce frequency of complications in patients with spinal cord injury, simplify care for them, reduce personnel labour consumption by elimination of support of soft tissues of immobilised part of patient's body on bed, providing possibility for extremities to perform passive movements.
