title: [Application of biomechanical stimulation of lower extremity muscles in the treatment of patients with hypertension].
abstract: The impact of biomechanical stimulation of lower extremity muscles was studied in patients with essential hypertension on systemic blood pressure and its hemodynamic components. A short-term (10-15-minute) antihypertensive effect was found in a 2-minute stimulation session. Inclusion of biomechanical stimulation into the multimodality treatment of patients with Stage II hypertensive disease will enhance its efficiency. The mechanism responsible for the depressive effects of biomechanical stimulation and the role of the hemodynamic pump function of skeletal muscles in this process are discussed in the paper.
