Key words: knee, anterior cruciate ligament, aquatic physiotherapy, adolescents.
There are not so many information about efficiency of aquatic physiotherapy in adolescents after reconstruction of anterior cruciate ligament in the literature.
Hypothesis. Because of specific effect of water, aquatic physiotherapy should faster improve range of knee joint motion and muscular strength than physiotherapy in gym.
Purpose. The aim of this study was to evaluate efficiency of aquatic physiotherapy in patients who had reconstruction of anterior cruciate ligament.
The tasks. 1. To evaluate dinamies of recovery of knee joint functions in patients who had physiotherapy in gym. 2. To evaluate dinamies of knee joint functions in patients who had aquatic physiotherapy and gym. 3. To compare recovery changes of knee joint functions in patients who had physiotherapy in gym with patients who had aquatic physiotherapy and gym.
Subjects: 28 adolescents 16-18 years old. Research was accomplished in children’s rehabilitation center “Zibute” in Kacergine. Adolescents were grouped in to two groups for 14 in each group. Control group had physiotherapy in gym and experimental group – in gym and aquatic physiotherapy.
Methods:
1. Measurement of knee joint motion.
2. Knee joint stability’s evaluation by Lysholm scale.
3. Knee joint function’s evaluation by Cincinnati scale.
4. Knee joint muscular strength‘s evaluation by Lovett test.
5. Statistic methods.
Conclusions:
1. Physiotherapy in gym is... [to full text]
