Restoration of Lost Functions in Students after Blast Traumatic Brain Injuries in the Process of Inclusive Physical Education

Background. It has been determined that the main task of higher education today is to solve the problem of providing students who have been injured as a result of war with opportunities along with higher education and rehabilitation conditions. Objectives. The purpose of the article is to determine the effectiveness of the developed program of inclusive physical education on the restoration of dynamic balance functions in students after blast traumatic brain injury. Materials and methods. The research combined theoretical (analysis, synthesis, generalization) and empirical methods (pedagogical experiment, testing). Testing was realized using the Dynamic Gait Index and the method of stabilization. The experiment, which was realized during the academic year in the academic course of physical education, involved 30 male students after explosive traumatic brain injury, provided there were no complications. Results. The developed program of inclusive physical education after blast traumatic brain injury is presented. The content of the program is aimed at providing maximum opportunities for differentiation of the educational process and implementation of an individual approach in its implementation. The results of the test control of students of the studied sample before the beginning of classes testified to significant deviations in the state of the studied parameters. According to the evaluation of the obtained control data, the studied indicators did not reach the level of «average», which is a consequence of the influence of blast traumatic brain injury on the state of dynamic balance and gait parameters. The final testing showed a difference in the studied parameters in response to the implementation of the proposed innovations. A statistically significant improvement was observed in determining the progress and effectiveness of the studied parameters of gait and balance in the range of 10-19.6 %. Conclusions. For the first time, we have implemented a study of students after blast traumatic brain injury, in which we directly controlled the violation of dynamic balance and gait in inclusive physical education. The results obtained are evidence that strategies and approaches will be effective, efficient and lead to the desired result in the case of improving practical methods to develop a reliable evidence base.
