title: [Muscular contrapulsation in rehabilitation of patients with osteoarthrosis].
abstract: Muscular contrapulsation (MCP) alone was used in osteoarthrosis patients as well as in combination with balneotherapy (radon and iodine-bromine baths). MCP of the lower limbs produced an analgetic and anti-inflammatory effect, improved the locomotor function, muscular tonicity, hemodynamics. MCP combination with radon and iodine-bromine baths potentiates the above positive effects. Thus, MCP can be recommended alone and in combination with radon and iodine-bromine baths for rehabilitation and outpatient treatment of lower limbs osteoarthrosis.
