THE RECOVERY THROUGH PHYSIOTHERAPY OF THE GERIATRIC PATIENTS SUFFERING FROM ENDOPROSTHETIC COXARTHROTHIS
Abstract
Physiotherapy represents many times the only method of treatment a patient can adopt, as it deals with diseases which can be treated neither through surgery, nor through medication. Physiotherapy represents an individualised therapy method which involves programmes of dynamic or static physical exercises; it may be used in prophylaxis, cure and recovery. Physiotherapy has a remarkable role in hip arthrosis, representing an important part in the management of pain for anyone suffering from this disease. It is also the best way to limit the unfavourable evolution of the hip arthrosis, and that of other joints.
