ABSTRACT
Experiments in modelling joint contracture have shown that vibrotracture with step-by-step frequency rise in one procedure and discrete rise in traction power in the course of procedures may correct joint contracture. Basing on these experimental findings, the authors have developed highly effective method of vibrotraction treatment of joint contractures (patent N 1804819).

The experiments on rabbits with modelled articular contracture established a marked corrective effect of simultaneous exposure of the rabbits to vibration and traction. Clinical trials in patients with traumas of the peripheral nerves complicated by articular contractures provided evidence for high efficacy of combined rehabilitation including vibration and traction methods.

The exposure to paired electric impulses and vibromassage promotes completeness of repair in the treatment of injured peripheral nerves of the limb. The effect is achieved due to marked stimulation of myelinization and differentiation of the nerve fibers, regeneration of the nerve system in the denervated muscle.
