The prospects for the development of regenerative physical therapy

The review is concerned with the investigations into the influence of physiotherapeutic factors on the regeneration of the muscular, nervous, bone, and epidermal tissues; also, it analyses the publications pertaining to the influence of low-intensive physiotherapeutic modalities on the migration rate, proliferative activity, and differentiation of stem cells as well as physiological stability and viability of these cells following their transplantation. The currently available data give evidence of the possibility in principle of the combined application of physiotherapeutic factors and cellular technologies in regenerative medicine and the prospects opening for the development of the new direction of research in modern biomedicine, namely regenerative physical therapy. The importance of interdisciplinary basic and clinical investigations in this direction becomes especially evident in the light of the recent achievements and rapid progress in the development of modern regenerative medicine.
