Abstract
At present there is a general consensus in considering water as an element favoring an optimal muscle training and an early functional recovery in patients suffering from diseases affecting the muscular system in a primary or secondary mode. Especially in rehabilitation, the effectiveness of the hydrokinesis has been variously investigated by the world scientific literature, and water qualities are widely exploited in the conservative rehabilitation protocols for various pathologies of musculoskeletal origin (low back pains, tendinitis, degenerative muscle tendon pathologies, etc.) and in the postsurgical orthopedic protocols of the various anatomical zones (elbow, shoulder, spine, hip, knee, ankle).
