[Swimming as a means of enhancing the adaptive potentials of the disabled after amputation of the lower extremities].
The studies of adaptive-compensatory reactions in low-limb amputees on training swimming regimens registered changes in vegetative regulation, predominance of the sympathetic component, low cardiovascular adaptive potential. High amputations led to arterial hypertension. Swimming and underwater exercise suppressed the influence of the sympathetic component of the autonomic nervous system, promoted enhancement of automatic regulation of the cardiac rhythm, lowering of arterial pressure. Pool exercise are recommended for rehabilitation of amputees.
