The use of the apparatus of an intelligent system with biofeedback in the evaluation of preoperative preparation of a patient with type I diastematomyelia: clinical case

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Diastematomyelia is a rare congenital anomaly of the spinal cord, characterized by its cleavage in the spinal canal, which can be combined with spinal deformity. When correcting scoliotic deformity, patients with this anomaly have a high risk of developing neurological disorders due to its fixation. Therefore, its preliminary mobilization surgically is necessary. In the upcoming corrective surgery, an important role is also played by preoperative halo-traction training in combination with therapeutic physical culture. CLINICAL CASE DESCRIPTION: A clinical case of the use of the Tergumed 3D intelligent biofeedback system in assessing the effectiveness of preoperative halo-gravity traction in combination with mobilizing therapeutic physical culture in a patient with complex spinal deformity against the background of congenital malformation (type I diastematomyelia) to prepare for surgical correction is presented. CONCLUSION: The results of this study suggest that the combination of physical therapy and halo-traction can be effectively used for preoperative preparation of patients with rigid scoliotic deformities and spinal anomalies. It help analyze preoperative preparation in patients with congenital spinal deformities.
