简要总结
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of different modalities of aquatic physiotherapy on the biochemical and functional behavior of patients with knee's Osteoarthritis.
详细描述
The subjects will be informed about the study and its potentials risks and sign the informed consent. The sample will be submitted to three different modalities of AF interventions: (a) low impact immersion, (b) conventional aquatic physiotherapy and (c) high intensity aquatic physiotherapy. The functional variables of flexibility, pain, joint volume will be evaluated before and immediately after each intervention whereas the biochemical variables will be evaluated from the analysis of peripheral blood following times: baseline moment (immediately before the intervention), moment 1 (immediately after the intervention), and moment 2 (24 hours after the intervention).
