The impact of kinesitherapy supported by katalitic worm compresses for some of biomechanical indexes of the movement organ of patients with degeneration disease.
Background. Degenerative disease limits physical efficiency of patients. The aim of our research was estimating the efficacy of kinesitherapy complemented by thermotherapy. Material and methods. Our research involved 53 patients with degeneration disease. We used kinesitherapy with thermotherapy in treatment. The Ritchie's index, range movements of selected joints and morning stiffness time were estimated. Results. Significant decrease of studied factors was obtained as a result of kinesitherapy complemented by thermotherapy applied in treatement of patients with degeneration disease. Conclusions. Our results indicate thermotherapy as a good complement of kinesitherapy in case of degeneration diseases.
