Many studies say that after 10 years from the onset of the disease, a third of patients need arthroplasty of the large joints of the lower extremities. Polyarthritic joint damage leads to the difficulty of carrying out restorative treatment. The article the main methods of rehabilitation of patients after arthroplasty of the joints of the lower extremities, assessed the effectiveness of each method in the treatment of patients with osteoarthritis of large joints, and proposed their own version of therapeutic physical activity in water.
