Abstract

Purpose: To monitor the influence of kinesitherapeutic agents on functional disorders in patients with damage to the sural nerve due to rupture of the Achilles tendon.
Contingent and methods: The study examined 9 patients with with damage to the sural nerve due to rupture of the Achilles tendon in functional period, who agreed to kinesitherapy at home for a period of 1 month. Exercises are included for: pain reduction, to stimulate proprio- and exteroreceptors, normalization of muscle imbalance; for an analytical effect on muscle strength; to improve the mobility of movement in the ankle area, to gradually adapt the musculoskeletal system; to improve normal postural mechanisms. Functional examinations are manual muscle test, centimetry and goniometry.
Results: The study showed that the applied kinesitherapy for 1 month has a positive effect (p<0,001), reducing pain, improves trophic, muscle tone, sensitivity and mobility of movement in the ankle area..
Conclusion: Prolonged use of kinesitherapeutic agents has a positive effect in patients with with damage to the sural nerve due to rupture of the Achilles tendon, which leads to an improvement in the activities of daily life of the patients.
Key words: sural nerve, rupture of the Achilles tendon, kinesitherapy
