“…Advantageous hydrodynamic and physiological effects of immersion and exercise in water allow greater freedom of movement and more effective rehabilitation. 24,33,34,45,46,54,55,94,95 Improvement in disease would presumably lead to improved HRQoL and increased QALYs gained, which would offset high fixed costs. However, the gains in disease improvement during intervention were insufficient to affect HRQoL meaningfully (based on results from the EQ-5D) and have QALYs gained in either group, and although more patients improved in the land than the combined group, the difference was neither clinically or statistically significant.…”

“…It has been suggested that the reduced loading on lower limb joints during immersion in water may enable strenuous activity during hydrotherapy. [45][46][47] Hydrotherapy may therefore be one of the few modalities of treatment whereby high levels of energy can be expended. Furthermore, water may be a suitable medium for exercise in JIA as patients often have low initial working capacities owing to reduced physical activity and opportunities to exercise.…”

“…24,31,42,[48][49][50]54,55 These improvements might be explained by the reduced weightbearing through joints in water, which allows patients to exercise strenuously without pain, risk of injury or stress on articular and soft tissue structures. [45][46][47] Furthermore, deep water running requires less aerobic metabolism and shorter stride length (less strain on joints, especially if articular movement is restricted) than running in shallow water or on land. 99 This information will provide baseline data for future trials.…”

HTA on CD is currently free of charge worldwide.The website also provides information about the HTA Programme and lists the membership of the various committees. HTA NHS R&D HTA ProgrammeT he research findings from the NHS R&D Health Technology Assessment (HTA) Programme directly influence key decision-making bodies such as the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the National Screening Committee (NSC) who rely on HTA outputs to help raise standards of care. HTA findings also help to improve the quality of the service in the NHS indirectly in that they form a key component of the 'National Knowledge Service' that is being developed to improve the evidence of clinical practice throughout the NHS.The HTA Programme was set up in 1993. Its role is to ensure that high-quality research information on the costs, effectiveness and broader impact of health technologies is produced in the most efficient way for those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS. 'Health technologies' are broadly defined to include all interventions used to promote health, prevent and treat disease, and improve rehabilitation and long-term care, rather than settings of care.The HTA Programme commissions research only on topics where it has identified key gaps in the evidence needed by the NHS. Suggestions for topics are actively sought from people working in the NHS, the public, service-users groups and professional bodies such as Royal Colleges and NHS Trusts.Research suggestions are carefully considered by panels of independent experts (including service users) whose advice results in a ranked list of recommended research priorities. The HTA Programme then commissions the research team best suited to und...

“…Due to varying heights of participants and the fixed depth of the pool, the percentage of body mass supported by the lower limbs could not be standardized. At the shallow end, most participants were immersed to the level of the xiphoid process allowing a reduction in weight bearing of approximately 35% of bodyweight (Harrison & Bulstrode, 1987). Water temperature was kept at thermoneutral (35°C), meaning that core body temperature was unaffected (Hall, Bisson & O'Hare, 1990).…”

Abstract:The purpose of this study was to investigate the responses elicited during aquatic and land rehabilitation to establish the comparison among parameters such as, range of motion (ROM), muscle strength, circumference of muscle mass and swelling. Thirteen individuals with an anterior reconstruction ligament with a concomitant meniscal injury participated in the study who established 2 groups: the land rehabilitation (LR), patients who were followed by a land program and the water rehabilitation (WR) whose patients had an aquatic program. Clinical evaluations were applied in the 0, 3, 6 and 9 weeks measuring the parameters. The patients from the WR reached the best results for all parameters which were evaluated. We concluded the aquatic rehabilitation allowed earlier function recuperation than the land program.
