تاثير برنامج التاهيل المائي على تحسين مرونة العمود الفقري وتخفيف الالم عند المصابين بالانزلاق الغضروفي

Abstract

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.
