ASSESSMENT OF CHANGES IN THE ADAPTATION POTENTIAL OF THE MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM IN INDIVIDUALS WITH MUSCULOSKELETAL DISORDERS USING AN INTEGRATIVE APPROACH

Abstract

Aim. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of integrating orthopedic insoles into an applied kinesiology approach to enhance the adaptive potential of the musculoskeletal system and address functional disorders of the musculoskeletal apparatus (MSA). Materials and methods. The study was conducted at South Ural State University and the Clinic of Restorative Medicine “Healing Touch”, involving 26 women aged 20–25 years employed in the healthcare sector. Computerized optical topography and mechanical dynamic response methods were employed to assess the state of the musculoskeletal system and identify functional disorders. Results. The study documented changes in the adaptive potential of the participants’ musculoskeletal system. However, the results obtained did not reach statistical significance. The fin­dings underscore the importance of a comprehensive approach to evaluating musculoskeletal health. Impro­vements in certain indices suggest the need for further research to refine these approaches based on individual patient characteristics. Conclusion. The integration of orthopedic insoles into applied kinesiology practices contributes to enhancing the adaptive potential of the musculoskeletal system, optimizing movement mechanics, and reducing injury risk.
