title: [Health resort treatment of children with progressive muscular dystrophy].
abstract: The results of a complex treatment at health resorts of 126 children with Duchenne myopathy and 84 children with spinal amyotrophies at the age of 5-15 years are given. The complexes included carbon-dioxide sulfurated hydrogen baths, mud application (with different localization depending on a form of the disease), fresh baths, oxygenotherapy and therapeutic physical training. The authors revealed good tolerance to procedures and the positive dynamics of the main clinical manifestations of the disease, confirmed by the electrophysiological and biochemical studies. As a result of the treatment it was possible to achieve progressiveness of the disease in all patients at different periods (from 1 month to 1 year). The authors give recommendations for the use of treatment at health resorts as a necessary link in the general chain of rehabilitative measures for children with various forms of progressive muscular dystrophies.
