“…Thus, the improvement in the freezing of gait propensity will also contribute to the improvement in the Timed Up and Go scores. Movement in an aquatic environment generates several health benefits: aerobic function (oxygenation) and increased endurance, 20 reducing the tension of postural muscles and increasing the chances of self-improvement of the posture. 21 Water properties such as turbulence, hydrostatic pressure and buoyancy can increase sensory stimulation and cause balance reactions that can improve the postural control and mobility of Parkinson's disease patients.…”

“…The undertaking of therapeutic activities is meant to improve the quality of life of a sick person who has to struggle with the distressing symptoms of the disease, i.e., pain, functional limitations, and self-care. The quality of life is determined by seeing it through the prism of various areas of life, although one of its most important determinants is the generally understood well-being, which results from assessing one's health, both physical and mental [1,17,18].…”

Background and Objectives: Venous leg ulcers pose a significant medical problem worldwide. The complexity of the problem determines the need for further interdisciplinary activities that will improve the quality of life for treated patients. This study compared the quality of life of patients with venous leg ulcers who received local hyperbaric oxygen therapy or local ozone therapy procedures as part of comprehensive treatment. Materials and Methods: The study included 129 patients (62 men and 57 women) with venous leg ulcers. Group I underwent local hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), and Group II underwent local ozone therapy (OZONE). In both groups, the patients’ quality of life was assessed before the start of the treatment cycle, as well as 10 weeks and 6 months after the completion of the treatment, by means of the EQ-5D-5L questionnaire and the Polish shortened version of the SF-36 scale. Results: After completing the respective therapeutic cycle, both groups showed statistically significant (p < 0.001) improvement in quality of life, according to the EQ-5D-5L questionnaire and the SF-36 scale. Differences were noted between the 1st examination (before treatment) and the 2nd examination (10 weeks after treatment), as well as the 3rd examination (6 months after treatment). In the EQ-5D-5L assessment of anxiety and depression, self-care, and activities of daily living 6 months after the end of treatment, better results were found in the group of patients treated with local hyperbaric oxygen therapy (p < 0.001). In this group, 6 months after the end of the treatment, a statistically significantly higher result on the EQ-VAS scale was also obtained (73.09 ± 19.8 points vs. 68.03 ± 17.37 points, p = 0.043). However, in the SF-36 assessment performed 6 months after the end of treatment, better results—a statistically significantly lower value of the quality of life index—were recorded in the group of patients treated with local ozone therapy (103.13 ± 15.76 points vs. 109.89 ± 15.42 points, p < 0.015). Conclusions: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy and local ozone therapy procedures have a beneficial effect on improving the quality of life of patients with venous leg ulcers.

“…Their aim is the additional thigh and buttock muscle overloading [2,14]. What is more, stair climbing, cycloergometer riding and swimming are recommended [32]. Despite the proven increase of endurance and march capacities and patients' general condition improvement, march training influences also biochemical and physiological organism mechanisms.…”

“…Impact of pressure and water stream leads to blood vessel massage, cardiac blood circulation and lymph circulation improvement. Faster blood circulation leads to better oxygen and nutrition supply of tissues and organs, and fitness/ /endurance improvement [32,55]. Water compression in particular body regions, so-called "water compression therapy", reduces venous vessel diameter and capillary permeability, improves blood outflow from limbs, and strengthens vascular walls (prevents oedema and lymph stasis) [32].…”

Peripheral vascular diseases constitute one of the most significant medical and social problems. Physiotherapy plays an important role among and in addition to various treatment modalities. Physiotherapy for vascular disorders applied in vessel disease treatment primarily consists of reasonable and regular exercises and activities, and selected physical procedures. The review paper presents current data concerning the most commonly applied exercises and physical procedures in selected peripheral vascular diseases.
