Enhancing Lower Limb Function with Hydrotherapy in Spinal Cord Injury Patients
Author(s): Alina Joy*
Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) often leads to significant impairments in lower limb function, limiting mobility and independence in affected individuals.
Hydrotherapy, a therapeutic approach utilizing water-based exercises, has emerged as a promising intervention for enhancing lower limb function
in SCI patients. This article reviews the current literature on the use of hydrotherapy in the context of SCI rehabilitation, focusing on its impact on
lower limb functionality. The abstract summarizes key findings from studies evaluating the effects of hydrotherapy on muscle strength, joint mobility,
spasticity, and overall gait performance in individuals with spinal cord injuries. By exploring the physiological and biomechanical mechanisms
underlying hydrotherapy's benefits, this review highlights the potential of water-based exercises to provide a supportive and low-impact en.. Read More»
