“…Although duration, frequency, components, and outcome assessments of individual therapy programs have been variable, consistent benefits have been shown in diverse patient populations, with few reported adverse events such as fatigue, anxiety, and chlorine sensitivity (Becker, 2009). In neurological injuries such as spinal cord injury, positive findings include improved physical function, physical fitness, and mobility (Li et al, 2017). Numerous studies have shown that therapeutic water exercise is a safe and efficacious modality for chronic musculoskeletal pathology such as low back pain (Waller et al, 2009).…”

As the general population ages and lives longer with chronic disease and related disability, an increasing number of individuals may be precluded from participating and excelling in traditional land-based therapy or exercise alone, despite its known benefits. This article discusses the benefits of water as an exercise and therapeutic medium, as well as the value of combining both water and land modalities, which enhance the benefits of exercise synergistically. This combined water and land approach has the potential to help clients achieve greater therapeutic benefits and clinical outcomes. As an example, described in this article are the rationale and basic framework for one treatment paradigm supported by research literature, the Burdenko Method, which has utilized combined exercise in water and on land for over four decades. These perspectives will hopefully foster increased understanding and application of exercise principles and programs outside of traditional land-based approaches. WATER THERAPY: HISTORY AND PRINCIPLESWater is ubiquitous -it is an essential substance for humanity as we are all born in water. Jacques Cousteau, French Naval officer, marine conservationist, and researcher who codeveloped the Aqua-Lung, once astutely stated, "We forget that the water cycle and the life cycle are one." This idea is encapsulated by the fact that the first nine months of life are spent floating in a gravity-free water-based medium, through which we develop our sense of awareness and ability to move. Amniotic fluid acts as a transit system that facilitates exchange of critical solids and gases while also detoxifying and nourishing. As such, it should be no surprise that water can impart healing properties during all stages of life. Wa-https://doi.

Tyrimo pagrindimas. iuolaikinėje visuomenėje apatinės nugaros dalies skausmas yra labiausiai paplits sveikatos sutrikimas, turintis milžiniškų ekonominių padarinių sveikatos priežiūros išlaidoms ir darbo našumo praradimui. Remiantis epidemiologiniais tyrimais nustatyta, kad iš ligos ir būklių rūšių apatinės nugaros dalies skausmas užima šeštą vietą iš būklių, kurios sukelia didžiausią nedarbingumą visame pasaulyje. Tikslas – nustatyti skirtingų kineziterapijos programų poveik skausmui, liemens funkcinei būk lei esant lėtiniam nespeciniam apatinės nugaros dalies skausmui. Metodai. Buvo tiriama 40 asmenų. Tiriamieji suskirstyti kontrolin ir tris tiriamąsias grupes – stuburo stabilizavimo pratimų, kineziterapijos vandenyje ir šiaurietiškojo ėjimo. Tyrimo metu vertinta: apatinės nugaros dalies skausmas, liemens funkcinė būklė, paslankumas, aktyvios juosmeninės stuburo dalies judesių amplitudės, statinė liemens raumenų ištvermė. Rezultatai. Nustatyta, kad visi analizuoti rodikliai statistiškai reikšmingai (p < 0,05) pagerėjo visose tiriamosiose grupėse. Vertinant grupių rodiklius tarpusavyje nustatyta, kad skausmo intensyvumas, funkcinė būklė ir liemens paslankumas statistiškai reikšmingai (p < 0,05) labiau pagerėjo kineziterapijos vandenyje ir stuburo stabilizavimo pratimų grupėse, lyginant šiuos rodiklius su šiaurietiškojo ėjimo grupe. Išvados. Stuburo stabilizavimo pratimų, šiaurietiškojo ėjimo ir kineziterapijos vandenyje programos sumažino asmenų, jaučiančių lėtin nespecin apatinės nugaros dalies skausmą, skausmo intensyvumą ir funkcin negalią, pagerino juosmeninės stuburo dalies paslankumą, padidino statin raumenų ištverm efektyviau nei šiaurietiškojo ėjimo programa, tačiau visos trys kineziterapijos programos vienodai efektyviai padidino liemens raumenų statin ištverm. Raktažodžiai: apatinės nugaros dalies skausmas, stuburo stabilizavimo pratimai, kineziterapija vandenyje, šiaurietiškasis ėjimas.

“…The questions adopted were 1, 2, 3, 6, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 18, 20 and 27, and these assessed each study's reporting prowess (n=5), external validity (n=3), internal validity (n=3) and power of significance (n=1) ( Table 2). The sum of these scores was then expressed as a percentage of the overall estimation of the quality of the article, where the overall quality was graded as: <50% (weak), 50 -69% (fair), 70 -79% (good) and ≥80% (very good), as per the grading criteria adopted by Li et al [18] Table 1 describes the appraisal methods and characteristics of each study.…”

International academic and professional healthcare fraternities share a common vision of interprofessional collaboration among the medicine, nursing and social sciences, and rehabilitation and paramedical professions. [1] Interprofessional collaboration among healthcare practitioners stems from interprofessional education. [1-3] Reeves et al. [1] state that interprofessional education occurs when medical, rehabilitative, nursing and social science professions study interactively for the primary purposes of improving interprofessional collaboration and enhancing the health and wellbeing of patients. Interprofessional education, research and collaboration among academics and practitioners break down the barriers of professional individualism, antagonism and competition, allowing a more holistic and multivalent approach to patient care ˗ thereby responding to the needs of the patient in a more dynamic manner. [1] Global advocacy for the adoption of interprofessional collaboration is based on the following validated claims: (i) respect for each other's profession; (ii) enhanced patient management; (iii) optimal use of each healthcare team member's skills; and (iv) provision of better healthcare to patients. [1] Interprofessional collaboration has been shown to enhance patient wellbeing and reduce the medical expense of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) and orthopaedic injuries. [3] Unfortunately, not all medical, rehabilitative, nursing and social science practitioners support interprofessional collaboration. [4-6] The opposite of interprofessional collaboration is professional individualism, which leads to antagonism and competition, with both national and international concerns being frequently brought to the surface regarding an individual discipline's scope of profession (SoP) and the issue of SoP trespassing among various medical, social science and rehabilitation practitioners, thereby inhibiting the progress of interprofessional healthcare collaboration. [1] South Africa (SA) has a long history of professional individualism and opposition to interprofessional collaboration among healthcare practitioners. [4-6] Naidoo and Buhler, [4] as well as Keyter, [5] reported that the alleged trespassing of the chiropractic profession on the SoP of physiotherapy and occupational therapy resulted in chiropractic therapy's deregistration from the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA). Recently, allegations regarding the profession of biokinetics, accused of trespassing onto the SoP of physiotherapy, have adversely affected the former. [6] Professional individualism and separation have an adverse effect on the quality of available healthcare. [3] The lack of interprofessional knowledge regarding healthcare leads to incorrect perceptions and professional individualism, which result in a dearth of patient referrals to applicable healthcare practitioners. [4,5] However, there is still hope that the SA healthcare fraternity will adopt the concept of interprofessional collaboration. Felsher and Ross [7] Background. Int...
