ABSTRACT
A multidisciplinary approach to recovery after injuries of the ankle joint in elderly and senile people by specialists of various profiles using drug and non-drug methods is especially relevant today. It is required to develop and put into practice various options for the combined use of physical rehabilitation means at different stages of the rehabilitation treatment of elderly and senile patients with this pathology. The study revealed no significant complications and side effects when using this technique, which allows us to recommend it as a means of secondary prevention and injuries of the ankle joint, especially with contraindications to the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and glucocorticosteroids. A significant difference was found in goniometry parameters after the recovery period in patients in the main and comparison groups. Despite the fact that in both groups the difference in values was probably significant, but in the main group it was much larger (almost 1,5 times). The technique can be recommended for use in fitness centers, athletic halls and medical and physical education dispensaries.
