简要总结
Underwater massage is the more modern variety of massages otherwise known as tangentor, where the temperature of the water of the treatment tub and the mechanical effect of the water jet is utilised. It is typical of chronic low back pain that, after the first painful episode, is repeated at 44-78% of patients.
Our goals are the followings:
- Is the beneficial effect of a Underwater massage therapy addition to a complex physiotherapy comparable to a control group with respect to clinical parameters?
- How much does the quality of life change in an initial state and how much is it in comparison with the control group?
详细描述
Informed consent was obtained from all participants. We use two groups to investigate the effects of the tangentor on the low back pain.
The patients presenting at the rheumatology inpatient clinics were enrolled without into the treatment and control groups.
Patients receiving Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation + underwater massage + spine gymnastics
In the controll group the Patients receiving Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation + spine gymnastics
Underwater jet massage (Tangentor) would be performed in a tub developed for this purpose, where the water temperature: 33-35 ° C. The treatments lasting from 15 atm and 15 cm for 15 minutes.
