Background. The tasks of rehabilitation for the elderly include improving the efficiency of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, the musculo-skeletal system (increasing the range of joint movement and muscle strength), and the nervous system and kinesthetic analyzer (using exercises to improve equilibrium and coordination). In order to realize these assumptions, combined methods of medical rehabilitation should be used, including kinesitherapy and high-tone therapy, using alternating electromagnetic fields (medium-frequency current in the high-tone range, ca. 4 – 12 kHz. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of kinesitherapy combined with high-tone therapy in patients with spinal pain syndrome. Material and methods. The experimental group consisted of 31 patients (group A) 50-85 years of age. The control group (B) included 31 patients in the same age range. Kinesitherapy was applied in Group A for 16 weeks, twice a week, along with high-tone therapy. Group B received only a program of kinesitherapy, identical to Group A. Results. After treatment was completed, we found increased range of movement in the lumbar and thoracic spine in Group A, measured by plurimeter. The comfort index and dynamic equilibrium were significantly higher. The control group achieved lower values. Conclusions. The favorable effects of high-tone therapy as a supplement to kinesitherapy, associated with stimulation of tissue regeneration processes and improved cell metabolism. The results we obtained justify further research on the effectiveness of a rehabilitation program based on combined procedures in persons with spinal pain syndrome, in order to improve their quality of life.
