The Role of Hydrotherapy in Treatment of Patients with the Consequences of Gunshot Wounds of the Lower Extremities
Keywords:
hydrotherapy, gunshot wounds of the extremitiesAbstract
Limb injuries prevail in all military conflicts, as this is one of the least protected anatomical parts. The duration of rehabilitation of patients with gunshot injuries of the extremities varies from several weeks to several months and depends on the severity of the injury. The purpose of the study was to determine the features of the use of hydrotherapy at the sanatorium-resort stage of rehabilitation of patients affected by gunshot injuries of the lower extremities. Results and discussion. Hydrotherapy allows in a shorter period of time to restore the motor function of the joints, reduce pain, helps to relax tense and strengthen the weakened muscles of the damaged limb, increases the volume of active and passive movements. Prospects for further research are to introduce hydrotherapy techniques into the physical rehabilitation program at clinical bases of the appropriate profile, as well as to determine the appropriateness of the proposed interventions in the process of physical rehabilitation of people with gunshot lesions of the lower extremities.
