IntroductionThis study aimed to evaluate the motor, kinetotherapeutic, and psychological benefits of three aquatic therapeutic programs—aquagym recovery (AG), aquatic ludotherapy (ALT), and therapeutic swimming (TS)—for students specializing in balneo-physio-kinetotherapy. MethodsThe study group consisted of 101 students, out of which 43 students from the balneo-physiokinetotherapy study program (BFKT) and 67 master's degree students from physical therapy and functional rehabilitation (PTFR). The questionnaire was named Questionnaire regarding the benefits of therapeutic aquatic programs (QBTAP), and included 3 subscales according to the typology of the targeted objectives, namely: motor, kinetotherapeutic and psychological. The items of each subscale correspond to the objectives identified in the content of the 3 aquatic programs stipulated in the content of the courses corresponding to the disciplines in the education plans of academic study programs (BFK, TRFR). The motor subscale included 8 items, the kinetotherapeutic subscale included 16 items, and the psychological subscale included 10 items. The evaluation of the QBTAP questionnaire 5-point Likert scale. The three evaluated programs were: recovery aquagym (AG), aquatic ludotherapy (ALT) and therapeutic swimming (TS). ResultsThe results and conclusion sections should highlight the main findings succinctly. For example: "The QBTAP showed high internal consistency (Cronbach's Alpha >0.9) across all subscales and programs, with significant differences identified between the three programs (p < 0.05). ConclusionThe study concludes that aquagym most effectively improves motor capacity, aquatic ludotherapy enhances psychological function, and therapeutic swimming is most beneficial for recovery and rehabilitation.

THERAPEUTIC SWIMMING PROGRAM IN SPORTS FOR ALL SETTINGS AND ITS EFFECT ON THE AQUATIC READINESS AND EMOTIONAL SATISFACTION OF CHILDREN WITH ID AND ASD

Children with intellectual disability (ID) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are participating more and more actively in exercise programs, with swimming being one of the most popular ways to improve motor and psychosocial skills for these children. The Sports for All program, led internationally under the central responsibility of each Ministry through the General Secretariat for Sport in cooperation with Local Authorities, promotes the global effort to adopt this model of sport for citizens with and without disabilities of all ages. However, research has not yet been conducted to investigate the effect of exercise on Sports for All environments for people with disabilities, even more so on therapeutic swimming programs in Sports for All settings. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of a therapeutic swimming program within the Sport for All Program setting on the aquatic readiness and emotional satisfaction of children with ID and ASD. The sample consisted of 13 children with ID and ASD, participating in a therapeutic swimming program for a duration of 10 weeks at a frequency of 3 sessions per week, 60 minutes per session. Instruments included the use of pre- and post-measures of HAAR and WOTA1 for aquatic readiness and the SSI questionnaire completed at the end of the program to assess children’s satisfaction. Non-parametric analyses (Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney) that were used, identified statistically significant differences in aquatic readiness for both children with ID and ASD, whereas satisfaction of all children from their participation in the program was completely positive. In conclusion, the therapeutic swimming program produced significant improvements in aquatic readiness and emotional satisfaction for children with ΙD and ASD within a Sport for All setting that provides important services to children with disabilities and low socio-economic status, as in this case.&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt; Article visualizations:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="/-counters-/soc/0039/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Study on the impact of the therapeutic swimming on elderly women diagnosed with osteoporosis

Introduction The adult woman has a complex of endocrine metabolic changes that can influence and cause various disorders in the body regarding the decrease of functional and regulatory ca-pacities. The involuntary changes in a woman's aging highlight both the appearance and the functionality. In this sense, we intend to conduct a study on morphological changes, parameters that represent risk factors in the development of osteoporosis. Studies by Kanis (1) and Munshi (2) show that maintaining adequate bone mass as well as ensuring adequate muscle tone can prevent osteoporosis, and a pronounced incidence of the onset and development of chronic de-generative pathologies can promote fractures. Material and method. In connection with the elu-cidation of this aspect, we will use the Frax estimation method, which is based on the introduc-tion of values obtained from medical evaluations. Regarding the study, we propose to the sub-jects a therapeutic swimming program to avoid the occurrence of osteoporotic fractures. Results and discussions. Regarding the field of factors favoring the estimation of a fracture in the items regarding cortisone treatments, alcohol consumption, digestive problems, minor traumas, the investigated subjects answered with No 100%.In order to obtain objective results, the study will continue for a period of 1 year, the intermediate tests will be performed after 4 months from the beginning of the work program and at the same time the program will undergo changes, de-pending on the results obtained from the evaluations. Conclusions. The implementation of this water exercise program will lead to adaptive changes in the direction of limiting the unevolu-tionary processes of senescence.

Analysis of the scoliosis onset mechanisms for children and optimal rehabilitation interventions through aquatic activities

It is known, certainly, that it is much easier to form a correct attitude than to correct the vicious one, a reason that must determine the approach of prophylactic means of physical therapy and therapeutic swimming. The identification, at an early stage, of the etiological factors responsible for the installation of postural deficiencies, is a determining factor in the management of programs for their maintenance or recovery in children of prepubertal age. The study took place at the Constantinescu Mihai Physiotherapy Office of Suceava and at the Cornișa Botoșani Swimming Complex. It is known that the correct position is formed from childhood, and movement and exercise are the main factors of its construction. In this sense, the paper proposes kinetic recovery and therapeutic swimming programs in order to strengthen the postural status in children during growth and development. In this regard, we have set the following objectives: identification of children with vicious postural attitudes because of the overloads in the prepubertal period and analysis of the scoliosis mechanisms in children of prepubertal age on a vulnerable somato-functional status. Keywords: therapeutic swimming, evaluation, scoliosis, children, analysis,

Dorsalgia rehabilitation in static disorders of the spine by therapeutic swimming in young adults

The purpose of this paper is to point out and propose the most effective means of therapeutic swimming in the use of work programs for patients with dorsalgia in spinal static disorders. The knowledge degree of therapeutic swimming is not sufficiently promoted and used, which is why we propose the following hypothesis: we start from the premise that therapeutic swimming can reduce the dorsalgia in the spine, improve lung capacity and physical condition in young adults. The objectives of this work are to identify subjects with spinal static dorsalgia and to establish the sample for the experiment; in the selection of therapeutic swimming means for the elaboration of the work program; in the registration and interpretation of the data in the form of tables and charts. The experiment took place at the Kinetic Therapy Practice of Mr. Constantinescu Mihai, as well as at the swimming pool in Cornisa, Botoşani county, with a sample consisting of 15 subjects aged between 18 and 22, all of whom suffered dorsalgia (in the spine). In this respect, we set out to implement a therapeutic swimming program for 6 months to achieve positive results. Keywords: dorsalgia, spinal static disorders, therapeutic swimming,

Засоби фізичної терапії у спеціальній медичній групі при сколіозах

A significant place in the article is devoted to the means of physical therapy in a special medical group for scoliosis because scoliosis occupies a leading place in the structure of orthopedic pathology. According to the literature, many authors associate the development of scoliosis with impaired mineral metabolism and a decrease in bone density of the vertebral bodies. Scoliosis is a broad concept that includes morpho-functional changes in the human body that arise as a result of curvature of the spine and are manifested by changes in the activity of the respiratory, cardiovascular, nervous systems, musculoskeletal system, etc. Analysis of scientific works, familiarization with the results of theoretical developments of scientists and practical experience of higher educational institutions regarding the outlined problem made it possible to identify the features and effectiveness of some means of physical therapy in a special medical group for scoliosis. Among the modern and effective means of physical therapy are: therapeutic exercises. Adding specific sets of exercises should be done with the help of a physical therapist. Such exercises very well help children with poor posture to overcome awkwardness, form the correct moving stereotype, and adapt to changes in the body pattern in case of scoliosis. Also a modern and effective means of physical therapy fitball-gymnastics. Unlike conventional techniques, gymnastics on fitballs (fitness ball) provides a unique opportunity to train motor control and balance, relieve stress from the ridge, etc. Therapeutic swimming is the main and irreplaceable means of physical therapy, since the spine is unloaded, the asymmetric work of the intervertebral muscles is significantly reduced, which creates favorable conditions for performing movements that reduce the pressure on the growth zones of the vertebral bodies. The treatment of scoliosis is based on stretching (traction) of the spine – this is a series of effects dosed in strength and time, and is a highly effective method of treatment, which at the same time has an instant analgesic and long-term therapeutic effect on areas of degenerative and compression lesions of the spine. Therefore, the scientific problem under study is relevant today, meaningfully complex and multifaceted, since the problem of scoliosis in children has been devoted to many fundamental, periodic and other scientific works, therefore it is very appropriate for future physical education teachers to use some means of physical therapy in special medical groups for scoliosis, namely: therapeutic exercises and exercises aimed at traction of the spine.

Prophylactic/therapeutic rehabilitation modalities in vertebral balance disorders in children aged 10-12

Introduction. Vertebral balance disorders are a health issue for children in general, with long-term consequences. Having in view that the number of new cases with this condition has increased, it is necessary to introduce health programs and it is useful to make a screening for vertebral balance disorders by age groups (prepubertal, pubertal, adolescent). The objective of the study was to evaluate the functional status of the child aged 10-12 and the elaboration of the prophylaxis/ treatment program. The purpose was to draw the attention to the prevalence of vertebral balance disorders in youth, with possible consequences in adulthood. Material and method. The study was conducted for a period of 1 year and included a number of 86 children. After the clinical, anthropometric, somatoscopic evaluation, the recovery plan was elaborated, but also the prophylaxis plan was elaborated for certain cases. The purpose was to create the correct posture reflex, the toning of the paravertebral and abdominal muscles, the increase in the mobility of the joints and the fight against obesity. The kinetic program took place 3 times/ week, with a duration of 30 minutes/ session. Also, the children attended a weekly therapeutic swimming session. Results. It was found in the study group that over 51% were girls, approximately 30.23% of the children were diagnosed with scoliotic attitude, 44.19% with kyphotic attitude and approximately 25.58% had a normal postural attitude. Conclusions. After the use of the physiotherapy program (on the land and in the water), it was found that the general alignment, the concentration capacity and the adaptation to the school activities improved. The existence of a multidisciplinary team to ensure the recovery program is an effective method to obtain beneficial results for health in this age group.

Paediatric osteoporosis: features of skeletal mineralization in children, prevention, and treatment

The prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in children is an urgent problem of pediatrics and pediatric endocrinology. This is due to the need for preventive measures for the formation of adequate bone mass and bone strength, the duration of rehabilitation during the development of the disease and the occurrence of fractures, as well as the requirements for optimizing the treatment of this pathology in childhood.Bone tissue is a dynamic and constantly updated system. The main regulators of osteogenesis include trace elements (calcium, phosphorus, zinc, fluorine, etc.), vitamin D, hormones (parathyroid hormone, calcitonin, growth hormone, corticosteroids, etc.), growth factors (IRF-1, IRF-2, ERF, FRF, etc.), local bone-resorbing factors (IL-1, IL-6, TNF, PGE, etc.) and mechanical stress. Remodeling processes continue throughout life, but are most intense until 18 years of age.The most important risk factors for developing osteoporosis are a history of prematurity and / or IUGR, rickets, low intake of protein, calcium and vitamin D, weight deficiency, periods of active growth, low physical activity, endocrine diseases (diabetes mellitus, growth hormone deficiency, hypogonadism, etc.), somatic pathology (chronic diseases of the kidneys, liver, malabsorption), taking certain medications (GCS, anticonvulsants, cytostatics, etc.). Clinical manifestations of osteoporosis in children include signs of tissue calcium deficiency (trophic changes in the nails, hair and tooth enamel, paresthesia, pain in the calf muscles) and a decrease in bone mineralization (impaired posture, slowed growth, pain in the spine and large joints, pathological low-energy fractures) Measures to prevent osteoporosis in childhood include regular physical activity, a balanced diet, adequate insolation, and the identification and treatment of somatic pathology. Additional pharmacological correction is carried out in risk groups – the recommended course use of preparations containing vitamin D, calcium and other osteotropic minerals.The treatment of osteoporosis in children and adolescents is actively debated. A mandatory component of therapy are calcium salts in combination with vitamin D. The possibility of using bisphosphonates is being examined, the effect of monoclonal antibodies (denosumab), somatropin and anabolic steroids on bone metabolism is being studied. In addition, non-pharmacological methods are prescribed - orthopedic correction for fractures, exercise therapy, gymnastics, therapeutic swimming and massage.

Therapeutic Implications of Occupation, Sleep Hygiene, and Neural Networks in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

Abstract Date Presented 04/06/19 The results of this study potentially provide evidence-based support for the development and testing of therapeutic swimming programs for ASD. Insufficient sleep corresponds with exacerbated ASD symptoms and abnormal connectivity of neural networks. Participants who reported swimming as a preferred sport reported significantly higher sleep hygiene scores than nonswimmers. In ASD, higher sleep hygiene scores were associated with increased neural functional connectivity.

Структура и содержание физической реабилитации детей грудного возраста при дисплазии тазобедренного сустава

Hip joint dysplasia among children - congenital hypoplasia of femoral head, or congenital increased mobility of the joint due to the weakness of the ligamentous and muscular apparatus. Such a violation of the hip joint elements development (one or both) leads to an incorrect interposition of the joint structures, whereby the femoral head is displaced relative to the articular surface, formed subluxation, pre-dislocation or joint dislocation. This is a severe and common disease of the musculoskeletal system. Since medical treatment for dysplasia among newborn is not provided, and surgery is required only in extreme cases, therefore, active methods in the fight against this pathology are: specific orthopedic devices, physiotherapy, massage and exercise therapy. Thanks to these components, treatment therapy will strengthen the muscles, accelerate recovery, it will be fast and unobtrusive for the child. In this regard, we have developed the structure and content of physical rehabilitation for infants with hip joint dysplasia. This course was designed for four weeks and was developed a set of rehabilitation measures. The content of the course of physical rehabilitation includes orthopedic correction with the help of special devices, massage, therapeutic gymnastics in combination with fitball gymnastics and therapeutic swimming, physiotherapy. To assess the effectiveness of the physical rehabilitation program developed by us, we conduct an ascertaining pedagogical experiment - testing, clearly demonstrating the functional and motor state of the hip joints of the subjects before the beginning of the forming pedagogical experiment and at its end.

Estudio cualitativo y comparativo sobre los beneficios en salud de un programa de natación terapéutica

We present a qualitative study about the nature of a swimming therapeutic program, and the benefits in physical and psycho-social health that provides the users who participate in it. We compare these benefits with the obtained ones by the participants in other physical activity programs of playful and recreational character. We justify these activities in municipal sport facilities field because of the answer absence from Sanitary System to the necessities of mobility related to health. Methodologically, our work presents three modalities: (a) study of a case to analyze the program of Therapeutic Swimming; (b) series of cross-sectional cases to analyze the mobility activities; and (c) a specific descriptive study to inform us about the mobility programs that are made in the sanitary institutions. Our analyses it is come off: that the program of therapeutic swimming is a program of education for the health from which important benefits in health are derived from the physical and psycho-social point of view; that most of the users of the programs of mobility of playful character they go with the intention to improve his health and they obtain it, but in much smaller measurement than those of the program of therapeutic swimming; that the sanitary system does not offer suitable answer to the necessities of health related to mobility; that the program of therapeutic swimming arises like answer from the society to its own necessities of health; that the communitarian scope constitutes a space to work for Physiotherapist.
