Anna Mika, Paweł Polak – The use of high-tone power therapy in the rehabilitation of patients with coxarthrosis. Fizjoterapia Polska 2007; 7(4); 401-408

Abstract
Background. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of high-tone power therapy on complaints related to coxarthrosis, i. e. reduced range of motion and pain. Material and methods. 12 subjects (aged 48-80) suffering from coxarthrosis received a series of 10 high-tone power (HiToP) therapy procedures. Additionally, 20 minutes of exercise was applied after each HiToP session. The subjects were evaluated for hip range of motion and pain level three times: before starting treatment (baseline), after the 5th session and on completion of the treatment (after the 10th session on the last day of the treatment). Results. Statistically significant changes in the functional parameters and pain level in comparison to baseline values were observed after the 5th visit. After the 10th visit, there was a significant increase in the hip range of motion in all planes assessed and a decrease in pain level. Conclusion. The treatment of coxarthrosis using high-tone power therapy and postisometric relaxation had a beneficial effect on the range of motion in the hip and coxarthrosis-related pain in the study group.
