【 摘 要 】

Physical therapy, through its fundamental and/orhelping means, aims at the recovery of arthroticknee functionality, responding to pathologicalchanges determined by the degenerative process.The knee joint has a major role in statics andlocomotion and it is the biggest joint of the body,but it is also the less protected of the soft parts,being thus one of the most traumatized and painfuljoints. We started from de hypothesis that theapplication of a complex physical therapeuticprogram which should include neuroproprioceptivefacilitating techniques specific for mobility andstability promotion, as well as the Kabat method(diagonals for lower limb) will lead to theimprovement of functionality condition of theentire lower limb, stopping the evolution, or evendetermining the regression of the degenerativeprocess.Although the values obtained at the end of thisstudy do not differ much between the subjects ofthe two lots, generally taken, according to theresearch and to the presented results, it can benoticed that the hypothesis is confirmed throughthe followings:- Improvement of functional level in the case ofthe experimental lot (24.5), more significant thanat the witness lot (23), mainly due to a betterstability in the knee joint at the end of thetreatment period, favored by the introduction ofspecific techniques and of Kabat method in thekinetic program;- Decrease of pain intensity reflected both in theevolution of the functional score and in the ongoingof daily activities
