摘要：Osteoarthritis (OA) is a heterogeneous group of conditions that lead to joint symptoms and signs which are associated with defective integrity of articular cartilage,in addition to related changes in the underlying bone at the joint margins (American College of Rheumatology).Objectives.The aim of the study was to compare the data obtained in functional assessments pre and postrehabilitative intervention in patients with gonarthrosis who have conducted two different types of functional rehabilitation - dry and water activities - in order to check which of the two is more effective.Method of research.For comparison,32 patients (age between 49 and 76 years),suffering from gonarthrosis were recruited from the Orthopedic ward of the hospital of Urbino.Patients underwent a functional re-education program consisting of 2 weekly sessions of 50-60 minutes each for 3 months (total 24 sessions).The re-educational program,identical in terms of purpose and progression,was carried out in aquatic environment by the GRS,and in the gym (dry) by the GRC.All patients underwent a series of tests before (T0) and after (T1) the re-educational intervention in order to relate the pre-post-treatment variations in each groups and the intragroup changes to the post-test.Results.The results show a significant greater reduction in arthrosic knee pain in subjects who underwent water treatment compared to those who performed conventional re-education (dry).The improvement of this variable is in line with the bibliography of this topic and with the scientific literature.Conclusions.The results also show an improvement in the strength expression of the quadriceps in the group that performed functional re-education in water compared to the other group.
