SUMMARY. The aim – to conduct an analytical review of modern medical national and foreign literature about the possibility of using water as a means of physical rehabilitation for patients.
Material and Methods. The study used data from Ukrainian and foreign sources about the use of water properties and its use for the rehabilitation of patients with different pathologies.
Results. The aquatic environment has extensive rehabilitation potential, ranging from the treatment of acute injuries, traumas and health improvement in the course of chronic diseases, but this method of treatment remains undervalued in current clinical settings. There is a large research database of the use of water therapy in both theoretical and clinical literature. This article describes many of the physiological changes that occur during a patient’s water immersion. Due to the wide range of therapeutic safety and clinical adaptation, hydrotherapy is a very useful tool in rehabilitation practice. A better understanding by practitioners of the use of this recovery method makes it possible to organize appropriate therapeutic treatment programs for patients with different pathologies, including persons (military and civilian) whos suffering is a result of war actions on the territory of our country.
Conclusions. Hydrotherapy is useful for the treatment of patients with problems of the musculoskeletal system (combat lesions of bullets, mines, garnets, amputations of limbs), neurological problems (post-traumatic syndrome), pathology of the cardiovascular system and other conditions. In addition, the limit of therapeutic safety when using this method is much wider than almost any other used in the clinic. Knowledge of these biological effects can help a skilled rehabilitation clinician create the optimal plan for comprehensive treatment by modifying hydrostatic water pressure, its temperature, the immersion limits of the body and the duration of the treatment process in each case.
