Analysis of the Existing Treatment Methods of Musculoskeletal Disorders in Adult Patients with Mucopolysaccharidosis (Literature Review)

Abstract

Need for optimal treatment approaches for adult patients with mucopolysaccharidosis is an urgent problem today. This happened dueto the fact that previously patients with MS rarely lived to adulthood and were observed mainly by pediatricians. But with the evolution of medical technologies and the emergence of modern methods of treatment and rehabilitation of such patients, the number of adult patients with MS is increasing. Clinicians have more and more questions in choosing a strategy for managing each specific clinical case. Currently, a comprehensive approach to treatment allows for the use of a multidisciplinary team to pay due attention to concomitant diseases that occur in patients with impaired GAG metabolism. Due to the rarity of this disease in the modern literature, there are as mall number of publications that cover only certain aspects of the disease, but there are no works devoted to a comprehensive approach to the treatment and rehabilitation of such patients. The analysis of literature data on diagnostics, methods of examination,options for conservative and surgical treatment depending on the type of detected pathology and functional needs of a patient with different types of MS is carried out. Recommendations for testing and evaluating functional status are described, and the most common options for conservative and surgical treatment that take into account specific problems that reduce the patient’s quality of life are presented. It is necessary to study the problem of MPs in adult patients in more detail, as well as to coordinate specialists who have experience in managing patients with metabolic disorders, in order to improve the results of treatment and rehabilitation of patients with this pathology.
