FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: for treatment of postimmobilization contractures, pharmacopuncture of homeopathic drugs Traumeel S and Zeel T is carried out at acupuncture points located around the affected joint, 0.2-0.3 ml of the drug per each point. Introduction of medications is alternated - Traumeel S is introduced during one session, and Zeel T - during the next one. The following points are used: for elbow contractures treatment - GI11, P5, TR10, IG8, for wrist contractures - C7, GI5, IG5, TR5, P7, for ankle contractures - V60, V62, E41, VB40, R6. After the pharmacopuncture session vibratory massafe is performed using "HIVAMAT-200". Exposure is performed with a manual applicator in the affected joint area by the labile method using the following exposure modes: 5 minutes - 190 Hz frequency, 50% intensity, pulse width/pause length ratio - 1:1, then 5 minutes - 50 Hz frequency, 50% intensity, pulse width/pause length ratio - 1:1. Then joint development is carried out by exercises performed in the water with the Dead Sea salt, 100 g salt per 1 liter of water at water temperature of 37-41°C. At that, the corresponding distal part of the limb is immersed in a bath of saline, and passive and active movements are made with increasing amplitude, 5-15 repetitions of one type of exercise for 10-15 minutes before fatigue.

EFFECT: reduced time of treatment due to the possibility to provide the desired range of motion without expressed pain at the extremes of motion, elimination of damaged limbs muscle atrophy, full range of joint motion within a shorter time.
