ABSTRACT
To diminish the frequency of postoperative pulmonary complications following gastric resection and stay in hospital, a complex of preventive and therapeutic measures has been designed and tested in 165 patients. The complex involves early exercise, aerosol therapy, vibratory massage, heparin electrophoresis of the chest. Clinicophysiological data on respiratory function, pulmonary circulation, hemocoagulation support the effectiveness of the rehabilitation in patients after gastric resection.

The follow-up of 70 patients with trauma-related locomotor disorders proved that breathing exercises, vibratory massage, chest heparin electrophoresis, drug inhalations early after the injury can be effective in prevention and treatment of pulmonary complications. Transcutaneous neuroelectrostimulation noticeably enhanced the recovery of the locomotor function.

High resolution measurements of helium-neon laser spectra have been conducted about 0.64 mm wavelength. The singlet oxygen photo-generation was demonstrated to be responsible for the bioeffects of this spectral interval. Helium-neon radiation with 0.633 mm wavelength was used for medical rehabilitation of 15 patients with muscular atrophy as a result of wearing immobilizing plaster arm-bends on lower extremity fractures. 50-day hypokinesia of a damaged extremity induced differences in functional indices between damaged and healthy extremities in the same patient. This difference was diminishing more rapidly after laser therapy than in the control group though all patients had adequate rehabilitative treatment. Due to the likelihood of hypokinesia- and weightlessness-induced atrophies, helium-neon laser may be recommended for atrophy prophylaxis and treatment in both cases.

A stepwise system of functional management basing on stage-by-stage development of the traumatic disease is suggested. Therapeutic measures under the principle of preventive rehabilitation are to be taken as early as possible. Functional therapy follows the pattern of 4 pathogenetically validated stages. Neuromotor stimulation involving ideomotor exercise, isometric muscular load, orthostatic factor and transcutaneous neuroelectrostimulation present an additional reserve in improving the response to functional therapy of patients with locomotor trauma.
