Dynamics of indicators of the cardiovascular system and bioimpedance analysis when using a water bike in the rehabilitation of patients with the consequences of lower limb injury

The article presents the results of using a water bike simulator during medical rehabilitation of young and middle-aged patients with the consequences of lower limb trauma. Objective. Evaluation of the dynamics of cardiovascular system parameters and bioimpedance analysis parameters when using a water bike. Materials and methods. The study involved 87 people who were divided into two groups: study and control. The course duration was 14 weeks. During the examination, the following parameters were assessed: hemodynamic parameters, body composition (bioimpedance analysis), anthropometric parameters. Conclusions. The use of a water bike simulator in rehabilitation can improve functional fitness and general health of people, thereby reducing the period of rehabilitation treatment after injury or surgery, ensuring high efficiency of the patient's return to a full life.
