Background. The problem of diabetic angiopathy is characteristic of countries even with a high level of development of medicine. The high frequency of complications of diabetes with high biological and social significance determines the need for their correction.
The purpose of the work was to increase the effectiveness of rehabilitation treatment for patients with diabetic angiopathy through the combined use of therapeutic exercises and functional electrical stimulation of the lower extremities.
Methods. A prospective cohort study was conducted, in which 90 patients (63 men and 27 women) with an established diagnosis of type 2 diabetes took part.
Results. It was found that the use of therapeutic gymnastics and training walking on a treadmill and functional neuroelectrostimulation of the lower extremities increase the motor capabilities of patients due to the analgesic effect, improved neurogenic control of vasoconstriction of arteriovenous anastomoses and increased capillary blood flow.
Conclusion. Functional electrical stimulation method can be effectively used in physical therapy programs for patients with diabetic lower limb angiopathies at the inpatient and outpatient stages.
