[Statokinesitherapy in the patients presenting with coronary heart disease associated with arterial hypertension]
Insights
Statokinesitherapy with biofeedback improved rehabilitation for coronary heart disease patients with hypertension and brain circulation issues. Patients experienced fewer symptoms like dizziness and improved balance and stability.
Area of Science:
- Cardiovascular Medicine
- Neurology
- Rehabilitation Therapy
Context:
- Coronary heart disease (CHD) patients often present with arterial hypertension.
- These patients may also experience dyscirculatory encephalopathy or vertebrobasilar insufficiency.
- Cerebral syndromes significantly impact patient quality of life and recovery.
Purpose:
- To evaluate the efficacy of statokinesitherapy with biofeedback in combined rehabilitative treatment.
- To assess the impact on clinical symptoms of cerebral syndromes in CHD patients.
- To determine the effect on objective measures of postural stability.
Summary:
- Statokinesitherapy with biofeedback was integrated into the rehabilitation of patients with coronary heart disease, arterial hypertension, and cerebral symptoms.
- The treatment led to a significant reduction in the severity of clinical symptoms, including decreased dizziness and improved gait.
- Patients demonstrated enhanced coordination, equilibrium, and postural stability, as evidenced by stabilometry.
Impact:
- Reduced clinical symptoms of cerebral syndromes in patients with cardiovascular and neurological comorbidities.
- Improved objective measures of postural control and stability.
- Enhanced functional recovery and quality of life for patients undergoing cardiac rehabilitation.
Abstract:
The introduction of statokinesitherapy with biological feedback into combined rehabilitative treatment of the patients presenting with coronary heart disease associated with arterial hypertension and clinical manifestations of dyscirculatory encephalopathy and/or vertebrobasilar insufficiency reduced the severity of clinical symptoms of cerebral syndromes. Specifically, it resulted in the decreased frequency of dizziness and shaky walk, improved coordination and sense of equilibrium, enhanced postural stability in the vertical position. The positive dynamics of clinical manifestations was confirmed by the results of stabilometry that suggested decreased deviation from the centre of pressure in the frontal and saggital directions and diminished total area of the statokinesiogram.
