OPTIMIZATION OF PELOIDTHERAPY IN HEALTH-RESORT TREATMENT OF PATIENTS WITH COMORBIDE PATHOLOGY

The modified method of peloidotherapy — infrapelotherapy combined with kinesotherapy — in complex health-resort treatment (sanatorium rehabilitation) of patients with knee osteoarthritis combined with cardiovascular pathology was presented. In main group (30 patients) positive dynamics of day’ profile arterial blood pressure (BP) data was observed: mean values of systolic and diastolic BP, maximal systolic BP, hypertensive index and standard rejection of systolic and diastolic BP and increase of night decrease of BP; improvement of joint functional state, increase of physical activity level and tolerance to every-day activity accompanied by increase of patients’ quality of life and improvement of integral index (12 points in main group in comparison with 2 — in control (15 patients) was found. The proposed complex significantly increases treatment effect (92,3 % in patients of main group, while 15.3% in control), especially in patients with high cardiovascular risk.
