MODERN ASPECTS OF THE TOPIC “PHYSICAL REHABILITATION” STUDYING AT MEDICAL FACULTIES OF HIGHER EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS

Methodological features and theoretical aspects of the theme “Basics of physical rehabilitation” studying by medical students are presented in the article. A review of the general data from modern Ukrainian textbooks, which are commonly used during the preparation to the study, where suggested for the more accurate understanding and learning of the main aspects of this theme. It is also relevant to review some aspects of this theme preparation, which are connected with the determination and use of movement regimes at different periods of physical rehabilitation, during the individual student's work before the practical lessons. Sequence and methodology of use of the main tools of physical rehabilitation is presented according to the periods and stages of medical rehabilitation, which is suggested by WHO experts. More than 60 definitions of the term “rehabilita-tion” is present in scientific and educational literature (pedagogical, psychological, medical and other directions). That indicate its versatility, disputability and absence of the unified generally accepted definition, which will satisfy all those, who participate in rehabilita-tion. Medical rehabilitation is considered by the most of spe-cialists as a complex of diagnostic, treatment and preventive measures, which are directed towards timely and accurate diagnosis, hospitalization, and also restoring and development of physiological functions of the patient, detection of compensatory capacities, elimination of the pathological process, prevention of complications, restoring or partly compensation of the lost function, resistance to disability, preparation of convalescents to domestic work and labor, active independent life. It should be mentioned, that the term “physical therapy” is used in foreign countries, and recently in Ukraine, in the context of rehabilitation help with the purpose of stimulation and restoring of the movement activity, which by its sense is in fact identical to the term “physical rehabilitation”. A huge experience if physical exercise use have showed its significance in the healthcare. Efficacy of physical exercise correlate directly with the time of their administration and are determined by movement regi-mens. Regimens of the movement activity were created for the condition of in-patient, outpatient and sanatorium stages of rehabilitation. Each of the, determines the volume and intensity of physical load, which patient should receive at each stage. Movement regimens are unified in physical ther-apy in different disease. This provides a possibility to develop an algorithm of patient's movement activity at some stage of the disease, set tasks, and determine ways of their solving and justifying peculiarities of physical therapy methods. Therefore, materials presented in the article will significantly broaden theoretical knowledge and will help students to understand this theme better. Modern approach to the question of determining and use of movement regimens at different stages of physical rehabilitation provides for the qualitative level of student's preparation to evidence-based studies of physical therapy, labor and mechanic therapy in patients at different rehabilitation and restoring treatment.
