Résumé:
This study aims to investigate the effect of a proposed aquatic therapeutic program
on improving flexibility and reducing pain in a patient suffering from lumbar disc
herniation between vertebrae L4 – L5.The research adopted a single-case study approach,
applying a structured aquatic exercise program over a specified period, with continuous
monitoring of the patient’s condition.
Pain levels were assessed using the Dallas Pain Questionnaire, while flexibility
was measured through the Schober Test, both before and after the program
implementation.The results revealed significant improvement in spinal flexibility and a
noticeable reduction in pain intensity, indicating the effectiveness and safety of aquatic
exercises as a rehabilitation method for individuals with lumbar disc herniation.
The study concluded with a recommendation to incorporate aquatic therapeutic
exercises into rehabilitation programs, emphasizing the need for case-specific
adaptations and continuous clinical supervision during the rehabilitation process.
