Evaluation of aquatic rehabilitation programs in improving range of motion and muscular strength in spinal fracture patients

Author(s):

Abstract:

Spinal fractures are among the most debilitating injuries, causing significant physical and mental challenges that restrict mobility and quality of life. Rehabilitation for spinal fractures is essential for restoring movement and muscle strength, but conventional land-based therapy often struggles due to pain and limited mobility. Aquatic rehabilitation has gained attention in recent years due to its ability to provide a favorable environment for healing. The buoyancy of water reduces stress on the spine, and the resistance helps build muscle strength safely. This study explores the effectiveness of aquatic rehabilitation in improving motor function, range of motion, and reducing pain in patients with spinal fractures, comparing it to conventional rehabilitation methods.
