Hydrokinetotherapy combined with facilitation techniques in the recovery of osteoarthritis

Motor recovery realized by using facilitation techniques has to practical indications, such as locomotor, rheumatologic, neurological and orthopedic trauma disorders. These use of these techniques has increased more and more, especially in the neurological illnesses, but unfortunately, they are neglected in the other diseases (rheumatologic and orthopedic trauma). In this paper, I aimed at merging two methods, namely: hydrokinetotherapy and facilitation techniques in the diagnosis of osteoarthritis. Due to the fact that in the recovery of this disorder is not usually indicated the use of exercises involving the load or the joint, we considered that the combination of these two methods, hydrokinetotherapy along with facilitation techniques might speed up the recovery process.
