MOSCOW, October 6 - RIA Novosti. At the Leader karting track in the urban district of Podolsk, Moscow Region, the opening of the School of Adaptive Karting for Northern Military District veterans took place, reports the press service of the Ministry of Physical Culture and Sports of the Moscow Region.
The department clarified that the Moscow region has become the fourth region of the country where such a school will operate - previously they were opened in the Leningrad region, Tula and Ryazan.
The project is aimed at early rehabilitation of Northern Military District veterans who have partially or completely lost their mobility. Military Medical Academy named after S.M. Kirov, together with the High-Tech Medical Care charity foundation, tested the adaptive karting technique at the Igora Drive karting track in the Leningrad region for a year. Rehabilitation can begin already at the second stage, before prosthetics, when the patient is still in the hospital.
The system of rehabilitation of the wounded with the involvement of regional prosthetic and orthopedic enterprises and targeted routing, the use of high-tech equipment and the introduction of advanced methods of providing specialized medical care make it possible not only to save the lives of military personnel, but also to restore their health. The release of cortisol and adrenaline during races promotes psychological correction and physical rehabilitation, helping patients quickly overcome the consequences of severe injuries.
On the opening day, the first starts took place. The races were attended by military personnel undergoing rehabilitation at the Yasenki Center for Social and Medical Rehabilitation of Disabled Persons and Combat Veterans, 1586 Military Clinical Hospital of the Russian Ministry of Defense and the Bes Chagda Sanatorium. A total of 20 people took part in the event.
A special feature of the new format is manually controlled cards: the gas and brake are located on the steering wheel, so athletes who use prosthetics or use a wheelchair can control them. The equipment is produced at a plant in the Ramensky municipal district (Ulyanino village). The adaptive control system provides driving capabilities for pilots with disabilities. The key partner of the program is the State Fund "Defenders of the Fatherland" and the FMBA of Russia.
