[Changes of the locomotor system in sportsmen with back pain].

Likars'ka Sprava 2001 January
Sport of high achievements is a complex combination of stressful factors affecting physical and psycological condition of a sportsman. Figure skating is a multicoordinational kind of sports. The analysis of the practical experience shows that movements undue in amplitude in the lumbar spinal column coupled with becoming too cold result in microtraumatization and origination of the pain syndrome in the loin. A 3-yr follow-up of 42 sportsmen-figureskaters of a top class athletic mastery was carried out to develop a system of prophylaxis and effective treatment of lumbar pains in sportsmen-figure skaters. The clinical neurological and orthopedic examination, X-ray, myotonometry of the paravertebral muscules, and USI of the spinal column were all done during the sports season and in the process of treatment. The developed system of a multiple-modality treatment showed efficacy of use of medicamentous (nonsteroidal antiinflammatory agents, chondroprotectors, antihomotoxic therapy, vitamins, and biological stimulants) and non-medicamentous (massage, stretching, physiotherapy, remedial gymnastics, psychological training) treatment options in rehabilitation of those sportsmen presenting with the pain syndrome in the lumbar spine.
