Rehabilitation exercises

Rehabilitation exercises, or kinesitherapy, use movement as a remedy. The purpose of rehabilitation exercises is to restore or maintain the patient’s total or partial physical fitness, more specifically:

• reduction of muscle tone,
• improve muscle strength and endurance,
• re-education of abnormal motor stereotype movements,
• increasing the range of movements in the spine and limb joints,
• counteracting secondary changes in the musculoskeletal system,
• prevention of cardiovascular and respiratory complications resulting from prolonged immobilisation.

Kinesitherapy can be used as a primary and sole form of treatment or may be combined with other forms of treatment. It is used to treat:

• spine pain syndromes (cervical, thoracic, lumbar),
• sciatica and brachial,
• disc herniation,
• post-traumatic states (e.g. ankle and knee twisting),
• postoperative states (e.g. ACL ligament reconstruction, discectomy),
• post-fracture states,
• tendon and muscle overload units,
• osteoarthritis,
• rheumatoid diseases,
• atrophy and weakening of muscle strength, in particular post-heart attack states after post-stroke projects.
