Abstract
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the developed physical therapy program based on the dynamics of indicators characterizing the limitation of life activities due to lumbopelvic pain in women with an endoprosthetic hip joint who underwent cesarean section. 9 women aged (28,5±1,6) years were examined 1 month after childbirth, which took place by caesarean section. The developed program of physical therapy lasted 1 month. Therapeutic exercises were applied; functional training, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation; massage of lower limbs, back. Movement limitations associated with an incompletely formed scar after cesarean section and the presence of an endoprosthesis were taken into account; safe strategies of movements related to child care were created. Determined The degree of restriction of vital activity according to the Oswestry Disability Index, Pelvic Girdle Questionnaire, Pregnancy Mobility Index was determined. During the initial examination, women were found to have a deterioration in their daily life activities and activities according to all the investigated indicators. During the re-examination, the improvement of vital activity in women according to the Oswestry Disability Index was 54.8 % compared to the initial result, according to the Pelvic Girdle Questionnaire – 58.6 % (р<0.05). The dynamics of the Pregnancy Mobility Index results showed a statistically significant improvement in the condition of the examined women relative to the initial result in the subscales of daily home mobility (by 54.1 %), household activity (by 60.9%), and non-household activity (by 54.6 %). Based on the results of the study, it was concluded that physical therapy should be prescribed in the complex recovery of women with an endoprosthetic hip joint who underwent cesarean section to reduce the limitation of the degree of vital activity due to lumbopelvic pain.
Keywords: rehabilitation, postpartum period, abdominal delivery, lower extremity joint endoprosthesis.
