SUMMARY. It is known that one of the causes of musculoskeletal disorders is a deviation in the postural balance of patients. Instability of the cervical spine is dangerous for patients, as vital centers can suffer. The main reliable method of assessing postural balance and improving the functional activity of brain departments is stabilometry.
The aim – to establish the therapeutic effect of the use of stabilometry in persons with instability of the cervical spine.
Material and Methods. The studies were performed on a stable platform with biofeedback TYMO (Tyromotion). 28 healthy people aged 18–25 years and 28 patients with instability of the cervical spine participated in the study. The patients underwent a 10-day rehabilitation course using a stability platform and stabilometry analysis before rehabilitation, immediately and 1 month after the course. Psychological testing was also conducted during these terms.
Results. In patients with instability of the cervical spine, deterioration of all indicators recorded on the stability platform was found. After 10 training sessions, almost all indicators improve, which is most pronounced in the M1 position, that is, on a hard surface with open eyes. After 1 month, almost all indicators remain at the level of control values. The most pronounced effect occurs in positions M1 and M3, that is, on a soft surface. Indicators of attention and memory improve significantly. The results of research give reason to believe that in order to preserve the normal function of the musculoskeletal system, it is necessary to maintain the level of physical activity, including static and balancing exercises with the use of postural muscles, which contributes to improving the quality of life of patients.
Conclusions. The stabilometry method makes it possible to effectively treat patients with cervical spine instability and significantly improve their postural balance and psychological characteristics. With the help of the stabilometry method, it is possible to detect the dysfunction of the musculoskeletal system in time and carry out its correction.
