title: [Immobilization and skeletal system of the human body].
abstract: Shaping the process of evolution musculoskeletal and nervous systems in animals has allowed these organisms steady increase mobility and mastery of new environments to life. Movement is the essence of life and health. But health is not a permanent condition. Its absence often results in limited mobility of the body. The aim of this study is to assess the impact of immobilization on the state of the skeletal system and the evaluation of the effectiveness of various measures to reduce this impact.
