Effects of Aquatic Backward Locomotion Exercise and Progressive Resistance Exercise on Lumbar Extension Strength in Patients Who Have Undergone Lumbar Diskectomy

Vertical reaction forces and kinematics of backward walking underwater

“…Despite the growing use of aquatic BW as a training resource [1][2][3][4][5]26], apart from velocity [25], neuromuscular parameters (EMG) [6,7], and spatiotemporal parameters [8], no previous studies have analyzed the ground reaction forces or angular kinematics of this activity.…”

“…The exercise groups show improvement in isometric trunk strength after the first 6 weeks of training, but without statistical significance compared to the control group. After 12 weeks of exercise there is a significant difference (p < 0.05) in isometric strength between the exercise group versus the control group, however after a period without training, strength returns to similar levels among the three groups, returning to improved levels in the training groups compared to the control group after a new intervention period (p < 0.05) 35 …”

“…1 Considered a frequent reason for injury-related work leave 2 , it mainly affects individuals between 30 and 50 years of age 3 , representing 2-3% of the general population. The prevalence is 4.8% in men and 2.5% in women over 35. The average age of the first attack is 37 and in 76% of cases there is prior history of low back pain within the previous ten years.…”

Mechanisms of aquatic therapy and its potential use in managing equine osteoarthritis

“…Patients undergoing arthroscopic surgery and joint replacement are also commonly referred for aquatic therapy. Aquatic exercise decreases weightbearing stresses applied to the operated joint, which provides earlier and more intensive rehabilitation without risk of increasing pain or overloading injured tissues (Kim et al . 2010).…”

“…Patients undergoing arthroscopic surgery and joint replacement are also commonly referred for aquatic therapy. Aquatic exercise decreases weightbearing stresses applied to the operated joint, which provides earlier and more intensive rehabilitation without risk of increasing pain or overloading injured tissues (Kim et al 2010). Human patients undergoing surgical reconstruction of their anterior cruciate ligament demonstrate improved knee range of motion and quadriceps muscle strength following aquatic therapy, compared to traditional clinic based rehabilitation programmes (Silva et al 2008).…”
