Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the efficiency of balneokinetic therapy for post-traumatic hip disorders in Calimanesti-Caciulata spa and climatic resort. Material and method: the case study of a 23-year-old man with post-traumatic hip sequelae following an airplane accident, present in our clinic in the period April-October 2014, who attended a complex rehabilitation program including drug therapy, massage, kinesiotherapy and hydrokinesiotherapy. Functional assessment was performed at admission, at 4 months, and at discharge. Results: An obvious improvement of joint mobility and muscle recovery was obtained. Conclusions: The time required for recovery and socio-professional reintegration depends on the collaboration between the patient and the rehabilitation team, as well as on the timely and correct referral of the patient by the orthopedist to rehabilitation services.
