[The application of the David back concept mechanotherapy in patients survived after myocardium infarction].

The medical rehabilitation in all areas of medicine is developing actively and rapidly. In cardiology, medical rehabilitation contributes to prevention of recurrent myocardial infarction and other complications in patients with myocardial infarction. The study evaluated impact of anaerobic exercise and strength rehabilitation program on hemodynamics in patients with myocardial infarction using the David back concept mechanotherapy method.

[The rehabilitation, health path, mechanotherapy in recuperation of functional reserves of organism].

The article presents historical essays concerning each method of rehabilitation, period of its revision depending on time and pathological etiology of each disease, application of rehabilitation (health path, mechanotherapy), different modes of choosing each method of rehabilitation. The term "rehabilitation" became widespread after adoption of the Federal Law No. 181 of November 24, 1995 "On social protection of disabled people in the Russian Federation". This is the set of measures targeted to recuperation of functional reserves of organism, improving quality of life, maintaining working capacity of patient, one's integration into society, reducing incapacitating states impact to support people with impaired functions to adapt to new conditions of life in society. The rehabilitation and habilitation are processes targeting to ensure that the disabled could be able to achieve and maintain optimal levels of physical, sensory, intellectual, psychological and/or social functioning. The rehabilitation covers wide range of activities, including rehabilitative medical care, physiotherapy, psychotherapy, logopedics and ergotherapy and supportive services too. The disabled are to have access to both general medical services and appropriate rehabilitation services.

[Effectiveness of medical rehabilitation of elderly patients who have suffered a myocardial infarction.]

At all stages of recovery after myocardial infarction (MI), the expansion of physical activity of elderly patients is one of the most important components. Of course, certain restrictions can reduce the load on the myocardium, reduce its oxygen needs and create conditions for early healing. Subsequently, depending on the dynamics and indicators of the cardiovascular system, the elderly patient is transferred from one stage of activity to another, the level of blood pressure, the number of heartbeats, the presence of arrhythmia, electrocardiogram data, EchoCG data, as well as individual load tolerance are evaluated. To date, there is a huge selection of optimal options for selecting methods of medical rehabilitation for elderly patients who have suffered a MI, and one of them is mechanotherapy. The mechanical therapy program of the David Back Concept complex - strength training is a set of simulators for working on the back muscles. The medical and diagnostic complex is designed for the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of pathologies of the musculoskeletal system, as well as for the rehabilitation of patients after surgical interventions and spinal injuries. Medical rehabilitation of elderly patients with coronary heart disease and after a MI through mechanotherapy, the program of the David Back Concept complex, provides for the restoration of their physical and social status to an optimally achievable level, determined by the capabilities of adaptive mechanisms.

[ORGANIZATION OF MEDICAL REHABILITATION OF PATIENTS WITH COVID-19 IN THE POST-HOSPITAL PERIOD].

The COVID-19 pandemic poses new challenges for the health sector, related to the organization of medical rehabilitation of patients with COVID-19. Special attention is required for patients after artificial ventilation, who have a high risk of developing physical, mental and cognitive disorders. There are acute post-ovoid syndrome lasting more than 3 weeks and chronic-lasting more than 12 weeks after discharge from the hospital. The most common symptoms are: shortness of breath, fatigue, anosmia, ageusia, myalgia, feeling of fever, tightness in the chest, tachycardia, headaches, anxiety, memory loss, sleep disorders, difficulty concentrating. The article presents the stages of rehabilitation of patients with COVID-19. Dynamic monitoring, measures for the prevention of complications, organization and methods of rehabilitation, including physiotherapy procedures and physical therapy, are considered.
