[The effect of cryo- and cryoelectrotherapy on regional hemodynamics in coxarthrosis patients]

Physiotherapy (cryo-, cryoelectrotherapy or sinusoidal modulated currents) and therapeutic exercise were included in the course of rehabilitation given to 110 coxitis patients. Less pronounced reduction in microcirculation in the cooled tissue was registered in the exposure to a single cryoelectrotherapy procedure than to a single cryotherapy one, activation of the blood flow that followed was more intensive. Positive trends in the local and peripheral circulation were more evident after cryo- or cryoelectrotherapy.
