“…27 For these intrinsic and extrinsic features, water therapy is already widely used in orthopedic, 28 rheumatologic, 29 neurologic, 30 psychologic 31 and pneumologic rehabilitation protocols. 32 According to Stevin's law, the pressure at a point in a liquid in static equilibrium depends only on the depth at that point (P ¼ P 0 þ dgh; P 0 ¼ external pressure on the surface, h ¼ depth, g ¼ gravity acceleration, d ¼ liquid density). 33 Consequently, the hydrostatic pressure of water gradually increases with greater depth (0.74 mmHg every cm), so favoring limb drainage.…”

Objective Despite the fact that muscle pump activation is known to positively impact chronic lower limb edema, objective measurements of standardized exercises for venous-lymphatic rehab are lacking. The aim of this investigation is to determine the effectiveness of an addressed physical activity exploiting the advantages of an aquatic environment. Material and methods Thirty-two lower limbs of 16 patients affected by bilateral chronic leg swelling were included (12 females, 4 males). All the patients underwent a protocol of five sessions of physical exercises specifically conceived inside a pool. Volumetry, subcutaneous thickness, ankle range of motion and symptomatology were assessed as outcome measures. Results One week after the end of the protocol, the average reduction in lower limb volume was 303.13 ± 69.72 ml ( p = 0.00002) and 334.38 ± 62.50 ml ( p = 0.000003) in the right and left legs, respectively. Ankle range of motion and feeling of heaviness significantly improved. Conclusion A specifically designed aquatic protocol is able to positively impact chronic leg swelling offering a first line rehab for this medical condition.

“… 19 , 20 This may be explained by the properties of water, such as water turbulence and resistance, which can increase muscle work when moving; buoyancy, which can support BW and reduce mechanical impact on the body; water temperature, which can promote blood circulation; water pressure on the chest and abdomen, which can activate respiratory muscles; and water flow, which has an effect on skin receptors. 21 , 22 However, it is unclear whether water-based Liuzijue exercise can effectively improve the condition of COPD patients and whether there are additional benefits compared with land-based Liuzijue exercise.…”

ObjectsThe purpose of this study was to quantitatively assess the effects of water-based Liuzijue exercise on patients with COPD and compare it with land-based Liuzijue exercise.Materials and methodsParticipants were randomly allocated to one of three groups: the water-based Liuzijue exercise group (WG), the land-based Liuzijue exercise group (LG), and the control group (CG). CG participants accepted no exercise intervention, while training groups performed Liuzijue exercise according to Health Qigong Liuzijue (People’s Republic of China) in different environments for 60-min sessions twice a week for 3 months.ResultsOf the 50 patients enrolled, 45 (90%) completed the 3-month intervention. The CG showed decreased expiratory muscle strength, extensor and flexor endurance ratio (ER) of the elbow joints and flexor peak torque (PT), total work (TW), and ER of the knee joints (p<0.05). Both training groups showed improved respiratory muscle strength, which differed from the CG (p<0.001). In addition, extensor and flexor TW of the elbow joints in the training groups were increased (p<0.01), and the WG differed from the CG in extensor TW and ER and flexor TW (p<0.01), while the LG differed from the CG in flexor TW and extensor ER (p<0.05). PT, PT/body weight (BW), and TW in the knee joint extensor in the training groups were increased as well (PT and PT/BW: p<0.05, TW: p<0.01), and the WG differed from the CG in terms of knee joints outcomes, while the LG differed from the CG in flexor TW only (p<0.05).ConclusionWater-based Liuzijue exercise has beneficial effects on COPD patients’ respiratory muscle strength and peripheral skeletal muscle function, and additional benefits may exist in endurance of upper limbs and strength and endurance of lower limbs when compared with land-based Liuzijue exercise.

Introducción. La enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica (EPOC), caracterizada por limitación del flujo aéreo, constituye una patología con alta prevalencia y mortalidad a nivel mundial, representada por exacerbaciones que requieren escalonar el tratamiento; el abordaje se realiza por medio de medidas farmacológicas y no farmacológicas. Objetivo. Sintetizar los aspectos relevantes de las principales guías de manejo y de los artículos científicos acerca del tratamiento farmacológico y no farmacológico de la enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica. Método. Revisión descriptiva sobre el tratamiento farmacológico y no farmacológico de la enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica, a partir de la búsqueda de literatura publicada en bases de datos electrónicas especializadas en salud. Se encontraron 265 documentos, entre artículos y guías, que cumplían con los criterios de búsqueda, se seleccionaron 118, se excluyeron 60 y se analizaron 58 referencias. Conclusión. La enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica tiene alta prevalencia y mortalidad a nivel mundial, por esto hay que diagnosticarla bajo los parámetros de la guía de referencia mundial Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease y de acuerdo con esto, abordar al paciente de forma integral e instaurándole un manejo farmacológico y no farmacológico individualizado con el fin de aumentar la adherencia al tratamiento, disminuir los síntomas y las exacerbaciones y, por consiguiente, mejorar la calidad de vida.
