Abstract

Topicality. Today, the soldiers who have been injured as a result of hostilities are added to people who receive injuries of the spine and spinal cord in living conditions or in traffic accidents. Invalidation of these persons lies the loss of the ability to move or carry out activities in daily living independently. This article describes the impact of active rehabilitation camps (ARC) on improving self-care in the daily living of persons with spinal cord and vertebral column injuries. The purpose of the study is to determine the effectiveness of the ARC program for persons with spinal cord and vertebral column injuries. The effectiveness of the ARC program has been analyzed using the Barthel Activity of the Daily Living (ADL) Index in two stages, in 2004–2009 and 2013–2017. The study covered 204 people, of which 84 persons with cervical spine and spinal cord injuries, 62 with thoracic spine and spinal cord injuries, and 58 persons with lumbar spine and spinal cord injuries. The ARC program has proven a 25% increase in most indicators of everyday life. The best results have been attributed to the movement of one's own body in space, improvement of dressing skills, and overcoming of architectural obstacles. The major difficulties for ARC refer to stair climbing, independent bathing and defecation skills. It has been established that the growth of life activity indicators depends on the severity of injury, which contributed to division of participants of the experiment into groups of similar injuries.
