Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The implementation of the Ilizarov method in the treatment of diseases and post-traumatic injuries to the locomotor system has opened up new possibilities for the management of unequal limb length and limb deformity. The final treatment outcome depends on many factors, one of the most important of which is proper and systematic rehabilitation. Among the essential problems entailed in this process are spastic contractures, limitations in the range of mobility in joints adjacent to the lengthened segment, and the lack of patient cooperation.The solution of these problems in the course of rehabilitation improves limb function and esthetic appearance, thereby eliminating the feeling of being cut off from the environment. |
