USING MODERN METHODS OF DIAGNOSTICS AND TREATMENT IN PATIENTS WITH OSTEOPOROSIS

The study involved 250 patients aged 19 to 89 years, with different severity of osteopenia and osteoporosis. The patients were divided into three groups: general clinical group A (n=81) — involved the use of physiotherapy combined with a standard regimen of drug therapy; main clinical group B (n=109) — DENS- and kinesitherapy in combination with a standard drug treatment; the control group (n=60) — a standard medical therapy. As a result, it was found that the recovery of the musculoskeletal system in patients of group A and B is faster than in the control group, but the fastest growth rates of bone mineral density was observed in group B patients.

Basing on the data obtained in the study there were developed a set of exercises for patients with different levels of reduction in bone mineral density, as well as a set of preventive exercises.
