Physical rehabilitation influence on patient recovery with lumbar osteochondrosis, segment instability and intervertebral disc protrusions

The paper presents the results of the use of physical rehabilitation of patients with osteochondrosis complicated by the instability of the segments and intervertebral disc protrusions. The experiment involved 60 patients aged 24–70 years old, equally divided into primary and control groups. Surveys conducted at the clinical stage of rehabilitation in the acute, sub-acute and remission throughout the 20 days of hospital stay (up to and on the 10th and 20th day of treatment). The efficiency of the developed program of physical rehabilitation with the use of devices with intermittent support, its implementation has helped to reduce pain, restore mobility of the lumbar spine, reducing travel time distance 50 m, increased confidence in walking, improving resistance to the stability of motor actions in elderly patients.
