Speaker:

The Department of Rehabilitation and Kinesiotherapy of the Institute of Spine and Joint Pathology named after Professor Mikhail Ivanovich Sitenko is a unique unit in the institutes of the surgical profile of Ukraine. This is the only department that offers a full range of aquatic procedures on the territory of the surgical institute.

Head Department of Rehabilitation and Kinesiotherapy, Ph.D. in Orthopedics and Traumatology, Volodymyr Staude:

The department has a full-fledged pool with an average water temperature of 34 -35 degrees, where installations for underwater vertical extension, installations for underwater horizontal extension are installed. The bathroom has hydromassage baths to restore the muscle tone of certain muscle groups. The pool allows you to develop joint contractures, acquired either as a result of trauma or as a consequence of surgical treatment. Also, patients in the pool are engaged in physiotherapy exercises to restore muscle balance and individual muscle groups and restore the correct physical activity of these patients. In the physiotherapy room, we develop certain complexes of remedial gymnastics, which are used to prepare patients for surgical treatment, or to recover these patients after surgical treatment. In particular, we have developed a technology for the early restoration of motor activity after surgical treatment with the clinic for large joint endoprosthetics. Such patients after the endoprosthetics surgery leave the endoprosthetics clinic within a week after the surgery.

Speaker:

The department has existed since the foundation of the Institute as a room for physiotherapy exercises and mechanotherapy, then Zander mechanotherapy devices were purchased abroad to develop movements in joints.

Head Department of Rehabilitation and Kinesiotherapy, Ph.D. in Orthopedics and Traumatology, Volodymyr Staude:

The mechanotherapy hall is a unique place where devices are collected, which, on the one hand, are exhibits of the university museum, because they were made in 1879, and on the other hand, these are devices that have proven their reliability and effectiveness for traumatological and orthopedic patients over the centuries. These devices were purchased by the first director of the institute, and they were used to develop contractul or postoperative patients, or after injuries were treated conservatively and proved their effectiveness. Today, these devices have stood the test of time and continue to benefit people. All the activities of the department are aimed at the recovery of patients operated on at the institute, the restoration of their motor activity, their motor regime and a very quick return to an active lifestyle.
