Annotation:

The number of victims with serious injuries in Ukraine is increasing daily, and these are tens of thousands of military personnel and civilians. Most of the injured require long-term treatment and rehabilitation. The first place among traumatic injuries is occupied by injuries to the limbs and pelvic bones. At the same time, with the increase in the number of victims, the need for medical rehabilitation increases, the clinical facilities and capacities of which in Ukraine do not meet modern requirements. The available amount of medical literature, scientific articles in profes sional publications, manuals and educational videos on Internet resources dedicated to the issues of physical therapy and rehabilitation of these patients is also insufficient. Given the challenges of today, martial law in Ukraine, and the large flow of injured people, the training of physical therapists should be supplemented with new approaches, forms, and methods of the educational process, among which a consistent examination of the patient according to the principles of the vital superficial anatomy of the human body, including the lower limb and pelvis, should take an important place. Vital surface anatomy is underrepresented in medical literature, medical textbooks, and books. Some authors use elements of surface anatomy in their works when examining patients, but anatomical terms are used quite arbitrarily, not adhering to international anatomical terminology. A search was conducted on the YouTube platform for available educational videos in Ukrainian for physical therapists and doctors, explaining the technique of manual examination of surface anatomy of the head, neck, trunk, and extremities. This search resulted in the following result: there are no such educational videos. The work presents a detailed descriptive manual examination of surface anatomy of the pelvis and lower limb, based on self-examination and peer examination of students in practical classes. It is proposed to supplement modern domestic textbooks and manuals on anatomy, traumatology and physical therapy with sections on vital surface anatomy, in compliance with modern international anatomical terminology. It is recommended to develop and release a series of educational videos with a sequential examination of various areas of the human body, based on the principles of surface anatomy, and to place them on Ukrainian-lan guage platforms and channels available to students, including YouTube and university repositories. It has been prov en that the method of sequential manual examination of surface anatomy of the lower limb is effective, as it allows to form professional practical skills for physical therapists and doctors who will provide assistance to patients with damaged limbs, including injuries from martial law in Ukraine.
