Abstract |
AIM: The aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of vortex massages and physical training on the temperature of lower limbs and selected haemodynamic parameters of the circulatory system in patients with atherosclerotic peripheral vascular disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study included 50 patients, both sexes, aged from 39 to 79 years, with impaired peripheral circulation of the lower limbs. The subjects were randomly divided into two groups. In group I, a series of 10 lower limb massage vortex procedures and an individually selected training including breathing, relaxation and active exercises of the lower limbs were used. In Group II, individually selected training was conducted. Measurements of blood pressure and heart rate (HR) were carried out before and after the series of treatments. The technique of performing the measurements was consistent with the recommendations of the Polish Society of Arterial Hypertension regarding blood pressure measurements. RESULTS: After the end of the series of treatments, in group I there was a statistically significant decrease in systolic blood pressure (SBP) and heart rate (HR). CONCLUSIONS: The applied eddy massage treatments significantly influenced the improvement of the hemodynamic parameters of the cardiovascular system.
