FIELD: medical science.
SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, namely to orthopaedics and traumatology, kinesitherapy, as well as physical training. Method consists in doing physical exercises in the process of locomotor apparatus stretching on a traction kinesitherapeutic training apparatus in the form of a collapsible metal frame that is a rectangular parallelepiped of interconnected vertical stands and horizontal crossbeams. Patient is placed on a couch which is roller-movable inside a frame on guides. Patient's wrists and ankles are fixed to ends of corresponding cables for lower and upper extremities by means of detachable fixing cuffs. At that, cable for lower extremities through blocks-rollers is connected with winch and traction mechanism arranged on vertical post at head end of couch and made with possibility to adjust cable tension for lower extremities. Number of roller blocks on the right and left sides of the patient’s body is equal, and the roller blocks are fixed at the pre-set height of the vertical stands depending on the desired degree of tension by means of hooks arranged on the vertical stands at equal distance from each other. Cable cuffs for the upper extremities can be replaced by a Glisson loop attached to the cable through a dynamometer from the side of the head end of the couch. Prior to the beginning of doing the set of traction kinesitherapy exercises on the simulator, the patient makes relaxation breathing exercises. To do the exercises on the training apparatus by pulling the foot cable attached to the lower extremities, a pre-tension is created until the patient starts stretching. That is followed by a sequence of exercises according to the patent claim.
EFFECT: method provides symmetric and uniform traction on all limbs when doing the exercises due to the possibility of changing the direction vector, the angle, provided by using the corresponding hooks for throwing cables on the vertical posts of the simulator, which allows to improve the movement pattern through simultaneous action on several areas of the biomechanical chain.
