Abstract
In recent years, a physical inactivity of able-bodied people has spread, in particular, due to an increase in the time they spend online both due to the development of digital technologies and due to forced isolation due to viral infection, military operations, etc. Therefore, myogenic cervicalgia in people with hypotonia of the muscles of the axial skeleton is becoming more and more common. All this determines the need to improve the physical therapy of people with myogenic cervicalgia based on the principle of an integrated approach. It is possible to assume an increase in the effectiveness of kinesiotherapy on simple simulators in combination with the analgesic effect of physiotherapy. Hence, the use of physical exercises on a balancing platform with free weights to increase muscle tone, eliminate pain and restore proprioception and coordination should be effective in the process of physical rehabilitation of such patients. The purpose of the research was to study the effectiveness of therapeutic exercises on a balancing platform with gymnastics of the muscles cervical spine stabilizers in combination with high-intensity magnetic therapy in patients with myogenic cervicalgia. The study lasted 2 months. 42 patients (25 women and 17 men) aged 25–45 years, who were divided into two groups: main (MG) and control (CG), 21 people in each group. High-intensity magnetotherapy was performed in MG before therapeutic exercises, in contrast to CG patients. The patients performed therapeutic gymnastics on the balancing platform Stein Massage Balance Platform with free weights (with dumbbells and fitness bands) in combination with exercises for the muscles of the stabilizers of the cervical spine (long muscles of the neck and head, anterior and lateral rectus muscles of the head, and also anterior, middle and posterior scalene muscles). According to the results of the study, we concluded that the effectiveness of kinesiotherapy on a balancing platform and exercises for the stabilizer muscles in patients with myogenic cervicalgia was confirmed, but high-intensity magnetic therapy before therapeutic exercises promotes more active regression of symptoms.
