Abstract
This paper addresses the importance of kinesitherapy in improving coxarthrosis. Coxarthrosis is also known under the names of hip arthrosis and hip osteoarthrosis and it represents a degradation of the hip joints caused by a morphological and functional lack of balance, being the most frequent hip disorder. The aim of this work is to propose a kinesitherapy programme that slows down the evolution of joint injuries, in the presence of a physical therapist, but also a potential use of the respective programme in the situation of the necessity of an intervention through kinesitherapy in the absence of a specialised physical therapist, because in progressive degenerative diseases, patients are obliged to continue their programme at home. Following the development of the experimental kinetic programme, the subjects were evaluated by means of the Lequesne questionnaire for hip arthrosis, the control of active and passive joint mobility; global muscular power was tested, and on the basis of Trendelenburg’s sign.
