The content of the article "physical therapy for injuries and diseases of the Central and peripheral nervous system":

Sciatica

Osteochondrosis of the spine

Gymnastics in the pool


*Initial position - I. p.


The nervous system controls the activities of the various organs and systems that constitute the whole organism, carries out its relationship with the external environment, and coordinates the processes occurring in the body depending on the state of the external and internal environment. It carries out coordination of blood circulation, lymph flow, metabolic processes that, in turn, affect the condition and functioning of the nervous system.

The human nervous system is conventionally divided into Central and peripheral (see Fig. Central and peripheral nervous system). All organs and tissues of the nerve fibres forming sensory and motor nerve endings. The first, or receptors, provide the perception of stimuli from the external or internal environment and convert the energy of stimuli (mechanical, chemical, thermal, light, sound, etc.) in the process of excitation transmitted to the Central nervous system. Motor nerves send arousal from nerve fibers to innervated body.

Central and peripheral nervous system

Central and peripheral nervous system

1 - phrenic nerve; 2 - brachial plexus; 3 - intercostal nerves; 4 - axillary nerve; 5 - musculo-cutaneous nerve; 6 - the radial nerve; 7 - median nerve; 8 - ulnar nerve; 9 - lumbar plexus; 10 - sacral plexus; 11 - pudendal and the coccygeal plexus; 12 - sciatic nerve; 13 - peroneal nerve; 14 - tibial nerve; 15 - brain; 16 - external cutaneous nerve of the thigh; 17 - lateral dorsal cutaneous nerve; 18 - tibial nerve.


Sciatica

The disease is mainly due to congenital or acquired changes in the spine and its ligamentous apparatus, etc. Pain, which periodically intensifies during exacerbation of the disease, localized in the lumbosacral region, usually on one side, irradiiruet in the buttock, rear thighs, outer surface of the tibia. Sometimes there is numbness and violation of skin sensitivity.

When sciatica shows LH (see Fig. Approximate complex LH in the lumbar sacral radiculitis), walking, Cycling, rowing, swimming, sauna (bath), stretching exercises, massage with heated massage oil, etc.

Osteochondrosis of the spine

Sedentary lifestyle of modern man has given rise to such common diseases as osteochondrosis, which in our country suffers from a few tens of millions of people. As a result of violation of local blood circulation in the vertebrae and the intervertebral discs undergoes various degenerative changes. Elastic nucleus pulposus of these discs, which plays the role of absorber shrinks and flattens, and its sheath (the fibrous ring), connecting two adjacent vertebrae, the dimensions of the vertebrae (similar to cement mortar between two bricks). A gradual process of degeneration in the fibrous ring is completed by formation of cracks, gaps through which the deformed nucleus pulposus may fall, - this forms the herniated disc. Going to squeeze it near nerves and blood vessels and cause prolonged and excruciating pain (lower back and lower extremities that is commonly referred to as sciatica or sciatica; neck and arm, depending on localization of hernia).

But even before the loss of deformed nuclei both adjacent vertebra due to loss of elasticity of cartilage strips have been exposed to constant friction. This leads to their coarsening, the formation of bone growths on the edges of the vertebrae, which also injure adjacent nerves and cause pain.

For the treatment of osteoarthritis apply a variety of methods and tools, including surgery. But in all cases necessarily is appointed medical gymnastics. Below are two sets of physical exercises, one of which is indoors and the other in the pool.

Note: I. p. - initial position; TM - the pace is slower; TA -the average pace.

Gymnastics in the pool

When performing exercises in water on the human body is exposed to thermal, mechanical and chemical factors. Warm water has a soothing action, facilitates implementation of exercises.

The prostate is therapeutic or prophylactic. If water exercises are performed in combination with traction, the water temperature - 35-37В°C During exercise in the pool water temperature usually is 27.5-32В°C.

Widely used in water exercises with osteochondrosis, arthritis, radiculitis, etc. However, in the acute stage of injury or disease of gymnastic exercises in water are contraindicated.

Loads must be optimal in regard to age, sex, and physical preparedness. Cannot be included in the first classes of complex exercises with high intensity, high repeatability and range of motion in the joints.

Below is an approximate set of exercises performed in water (pool) in spinal osteochondrosis and deforming arthrosis (arthritis).

Exercises are performed at a wall (the rim) basin:

1. The sequential splaying of the left (right) foot to the side. 5-10 times for each leg.
