Osteopathic status characteristics of patients with metabolic syndrome
Purpose of research: to assess the osteopathic status based on the study of the structure of somatic dysfunctions in patients with metabolic syndrome. Materials and methods. Clinical, biochemical and osteopathic examination of patients with metabolic syndrome (n = 33) aged 40 to 80 years was carried out. To fulfill the purpose of the study, an assessment of the somatic status, osteopathic examination in full, anthropometry, calculation of BMI, tonometry, determination of heart rate, pulse, ECG in standard leads, determination of glucose level and lipid spectrum in blood serum were carried out. Results. The study of the osteopathic status in these patients made it possible to reveal the dysfunction of organs and systems in the form of somatic dysfunctions, and to identify the most typical somatic dysfunctions for patients with metabolic syndrome. In this connection, the possibility of therapeutic and osteopathic management of patients with metabolic syndrome is determined.
