| Abstract. | The acromioclavicular joint can be damaged by various traumas, thus greatly diminishing the functional capacity of the entire superior member. Post-traumatic sequelae of the acromioclavicular joint greatly diminish the quality of patients' lives. This study aims at optimizing the choice of both physical therapy techniques and physiotherapy procedures in order to alleviate pain, increase joint mobility and muscle strength, and to reintegrate patients into early socio-professional activity. All of the 23 patients included in the study were given massage, physiotherapy and electrotherapy. Therapeutic recovery programs and their goals have been tailored to the individual lifestyle of each patient. At the end of the study it was concluded that by identifying the most effective physiokinetoterapeutical techniques we achieved long-term positive results, the risk of relapse of diseases decreasing drastically. |
