Abstract

In the context of full-scale war and the post-pandemic period, Ukraine faces a sharp increase in the number of patients with musculoskeletal injuries, post-stroke and post-COVID conditions, as well as neuropsychological disorders. Intermittent hypoxic therapy (IHT) is a promising modality of modern physical rehabilitation that can activate adaptive reserves, improve metabolic and neurohumoral regulation, and enhance resistance to physical and psycho-emotional stress. However, there is almost no domestically produced IHT equipment that meets contemporary requirements of safety, adaptability and integration with biofeedback systems.
