PURPOSE OF THE STUDY

Conduct scientometric analysis of evidence-based studies of physical methods of treating patients with the spinal cord injury (SCI) consequences.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

Data from a scientometric analysis of evidence-based studies published from January 2014 to December 2019 on the use of therapeutic physical factors in the rehabilitation of patients with SCI are presented in the article.

RESULTS

Groups of effective technologies, including physical activity, pulsed electrotherapy and robotic mechanotherapy are identified. Significant effects of applied technologies in patients with spinal trauma are shown. Promising groups of physical therapies requiring additional evidence-based research are identified. Recommendations on the use of therapeutic physical factors in the treatment of patients with SCI are proposed.

CONCLUSION

A trend towards an increase in the number of randomized controlled trials to assess the effectiveness and expand the range of physical and rehabilitation medicine technologies used in the rehabilitation of patients with SCI are identified. Monitoring of technologies with proven effectiveness is necessary to improve the quality of rehabilitation measures in patients with SCI.
