Summary
Impedance therapy offer new procedures in the therapy of degenerative changes of the spine by objective control of structural and degenerative changes. The paper investigated the influence of an innovative Impedance therapy (IT) on changes in the health state in the rehabilitation care of patients suffering from degenerative disease of the spine (DDD). The authors verified the influence of IT in the therapy of degenerative disease of the spine by confirming the “Disc grow up“ (DGU) phenomenon. The cohort in the clinically randomized study (RCT) was formed by 55 patients at the average age of 51.3 years. The cohort was divided in two groups. The observed group of patients underwent rehabilitation with IT by a specific electric impulse (SEI) and the second (control) group underwent the same rehabilitation plan, while, instead of SEI, a classical electrotherapy constituted of 10 therapies which were applied in cycles which were repeated during the whole rehabilitation plan. In the observed group of patients (DDD), who were applied IT, the DGU phenomenon was observed with 76% successfulness, with statistically significant I crease od intervertebral discs. In the control group of patients, who underwent the standard electrotherapy, the DGU phenomenon was not observed. Based on the observed influence of the method of impedance therapy on the changes of intervertebral disc volume, the degenerative disease of the spine may be considered curable as a civilization disease.
