THE EFFECT OF LOCAL HYPOTHERMIA ON THE AMOUNT OF ELECTRICAL POTENTIAL OF THE BIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE POINTS IN TRAUMA-ORTHOPAEDICS PATIENTS, SPORTMEN AND HELATHY YOUNG INDIVIDUALS NOT GOING FOR SPORTS
We studied the dynamics of electrical potential under impact hypothermal test at six biologically active points (BAP) in hands of 10 patients aged from 17 to 30 years with unilateral 3–4 cm post-traumatic shortening of the left lower limb and in 30 practically healthy young men aged from 18 to 23 years including 15 sportsmen of high qualification (not less that 1st degree) and 15 individuals not going for sports. Comparatively high potential of BAP in rest was registered in the patients witnessing marked tension of homeostatic mechanisms due to orthopedic intervention. Statistically true increase of electrical potential in most of the BAP was revealed highly qualified sportsmen under effect of thermal factor certifying high readiness of vegetative nerve system to provide increasing energy-exchanged needs in conditions of external disturbance and homeostatic threat. The dynamics in non-trained individuals reflects low level of functional readiness of the body to disturbance of the environment and considerable inactivity of the vegetative nerve system regarding elimination of homeostatic disorder consequences. In the patients the local hypothermia causes additional stress of homeostatic mechanisms that is expressed in asymmetric growth of BAP potential indicating the boundary condition of systemic homeostasis of the body and the marked stress of its composition elements is aimed at elimination of consequences of orthopedic intervention.
