Resumen
La artrosis es una enfermedad del cartilago hialino que conduce a la perdida de espesor del mismo por destruccion enzimática. La espondiloartrosis es posiblemente un proceso natural que aumenta en incidencia y en grado con la edad, por lo que es dudoso que pueda considerarse una entidad patológica, si no más bien como la historia natural del proceso degenerativo de la columna vertebral de un animal bíperdo y erecto, que filogenéticamente está todavia inadaptado a mantener esta postura durante una larga vida. El objetivo es Mejorar la calidad de vida del adulto mayor aplicando un programa de cinesiterapia en piscina enfocado en la perdida de movilidad que conlleva la Espondiloartrosis, reduciendo el dolor y mejorando su capacidad funcional al realizar sus actividades de la vida diaria. Con la edad el disco intervertebral se va deteriorando y se ve sometido a una alteración progresiva de su estructura, morfológica y propiedades iniciales, como consecuencia de los diversos traumatismos, esfuerzos y sobrecargas a las que se ve sometido, o incluso por alteraciones circulatorias que ponen en peligro su correcta nutrición. Pero su degeneración también está influenciada por una serie de factores predisponentes teles como la estática vertebral, una estructura elevada, la obesidad, el tabaco, los embarazos, el tipo de ocupación laboral de la persona, etc.
Arthrosis is a disease of hyaline cartilage that leads to the loss of thickness of the same by enzymatic destruction. The spondyloarthrosis is possibly a natural process that increases in incidence and degree with age, so it is doubtful that it can be considered a pathological entity, but rather as the natural history of the degenerative process of the vertebral column of a bipedal animal and erect, which phylogenetically is still unsuited to maintain this position during a long life. The objective is to improve the quality of life of the elderly by applying a program of kinesitherapy in swimming pool focused on the loss of mobility that spondyloarthrosis entails, reducing pain and improving their functional capacity when performing their activities of daily living. With age the intervertebral disc is deteriorating and is subject to a progressive alteration of its structure, morphological and initial properties, as a consequence of the various traumas, stresses and overloads to which it is subjected, or even by circulatory alterations that put endangering their proper nutrition. But its degeneration is also influenced by a series of predisposing factors such as the vertebral statics, an elevated structure, obesity, tobacco, pregnancies, the type of occupation of the person, etc.
