Myofascial release in an aquatic environment for individuals who have suffered brain injuries and diseases

The purpose of the study is to correct muscle tone in individuals with spastic hemiparesis following brain injuries and diseases using myofascial release in an aquatic environment. Research methods and organization. Such research methods were used as analysis and generalization of scientific and methodological literature, pedagogical experiment, testing, and methods of mathematical statistics. The results were processed using the program "STATGRAPHICS Windows Plus 5.0" with the calculation of sample parameters. The study was conducted at the Leningrad Regional Center for Medical Rehabilitation, in the city of Kommunar, with individuals who had suffered strokes and traumatic brain injuries, aged 40 to 70 years of both sexes. Research results and conclusions. The effectiveness of the applied methods for correcting muscle tone in individuals with spastic hemiparesis, implemented within the framework of hydrorehabilitation, has been proven. The results obtained indicate that the use of myofascial release in an aquatic environment is a rational solution for addressing issues related to muscle tone correction and reducing spasticity in cases of brain injuries and diseases. Such conditions serve as a predictor of a favorable rehabilitation process, determined by the effective restoration of musculoskeletal functions and, consequently, the potential improvement in quality of life.
