Objective:
- gaining muscle strength
- improve muscle endurance
- Minimize muscle atrophy resulting from immobilization or pathological processes
- delaying the onset of muscular atrophy
- obtaining compensatory overexertion
- achieve improvement of neuromuscular coordination
Indications:
- muscle weakness
- immobilization conditions (e.g.: plaster dressing)
Contraindications:
- acute inflammation of the joints
- inflammation of periarticular tissues
- venous inflammations
- temperature above 38°
- fractures , post-traumatic conditions
- states after dislocation
- violated continuity of skin and soft tissues
- occurrence of pain during exercise
- states after surgical procedures before removal of stitches (consultation with a doctor)
- Diastolic pressure above 100 and systolic pressure above 160 (measured at rest)
- general serious condition of the patient
- status after CT scan with contrast
- Condition after a lower lumbar puncture (e.g., collection of cerebrospinal fluid)
A referral is required for the exercise.
