The aim of this work is to study the current issue state of using rhythmic peripheral magnetic stimulation (rPMS) in the rehabilitation of patients with paresis of the lower extremities with lower lumbar radiculopathy. The article presents information on the use of rPMS in the rehabilitation of patients with motor impairments in various diseases. The world experience of the effectiveness and reliability of the technique application in patients with various motor disorders has been analyzed. It is clarified that this direction in the domestic and foreign literature is represented by few works, and the rehabilitation of patients with paresis of the foot after discectomy at the lower lumbar level is insufficiently expanded on a topic. Conclusion. Our literature analysis shows a good clinical effect of using low-frequency stimulation in the treatment of motor disorders, which turned out to be identical to that obtained by a number of authors who used low-frequency rTMS in similar studies. The issue of using the rPMS method in the rehabilitation of patients with paresis of the lower extremities remains relevant and promising.

Lower back pain is an urgent global problem. Often it is combined with metabolic disorders, which leads to mutual aggravation of both pathological conditions. The aim of the study was a comparative assessment of the complex therapy of patients with exacerbation of chronic vertebrogenic dorsalgia using various methods.Materials and methods. We examined 60 patients with concomitant metabolic disorders in the form of obesity.Results. The effectiveness of the use of non-drug methods, namely therapeutic exercises with elements of yoga practice and reflexology in the complex therapy of patients with chronic pain in the lower back in combination with metabolic disorders, has been proven.Conclusion. The use of these methods allows to achieve a positive effect, which manifests itself in reducing the intensity of the pain syndrome and improving the functionality of patients, as well as correction of concomitant metabolic disorders.
