Abstract

Abstract. Background. The problems of pathology of the musculoskeletal system in people are increasing from year to year. In connection with long-term sitting, the functioning of the musculoskeletal system is disturbed, which causes a violation of the ability to support and control the general center of mass of the body to maintain balance in static and dynamic positions. Aim. The aim of the study was to find out the effectiveness of using a stabilizing platform in people with instability of the lumbar spine. Materials and methods: the studies were performed on a stable platform with biofeedback TYMO (Tyromotion). 29 healthy people aged 18–25 years and 29 patients with instability of the cervical spine participated in the study. The patients underwent a 10-day rehabilitation course using a stability platform and stabilometry analysis before rehabilitation, immediately and 1 month after the course. Psychological testing was also conducted during these terms. Conclusions. With the help of the stabilometry method, it is possible to detect the dysfunction of the musculoskeletal system in time and carry out its correction. The use of a stabilizing platform makes it possible to effectively treat patients with instability of the lumbar spine and significantly improve their postural balance and quality of life.
