THE EFFICIENCY OF THE COXARTHROSIS RECOVERY PROCESS BY IMPLEMENTING THE MASSAGE AND PHYSIOTHERAPY ASSOCIATED WITH KINETOTHERAPY

Abstract

Highly important for stillness and mobility, the hip joint is built in such a way as to offer the body maximum mobility and stability. That is why physical therapy, mental exercises, physiotherapy and massage are essential to the recovery of the joint. The purpose of the study is to bring an improvement of the hip joint and to modify the cartilaginous tissue that causes the development of arthritis. Methods. The tests were performed on a group of 10 patients within the Sf. Luca hospital. The recovery methods were established according to the muscular and articular balance. The achieved results from physical therapy, physiotherapy and massage were compared in a graph that showed the initial state of the patients. Conclusions. At the completion of the program an improvement of the pain and greater flexibility of the hip joint were observed. The muscles in the pelvis got stronger and, at the same time, the strength and mobility were progressively modified. Also, the breathing and mental exercises had a very important role during the patient program.
