title: Developing Deep Water Excercise Equipment for Low Back Pain (LBP) Patients: medical validation experiences.
abstract: Authors describe a joint work of practicing physicians and rehabilitation specialist engineers. In our work we wanted to prove the efficacy of deep-water physiotherapy among the hydrotherapy treatments in patients with degenerative chronic low back pain, by monitoring both objective and subjective parameters. On the other hand, we are also seeking the possibilities of developing a water exercise tool which can spare the shoulders, can be used in deep water and is suitable for helping the three-dimensional movements of the spine without burdening the upper limbs and shoulders.
