Overview
The contribution refers to the importance of exploiting elastic bands and water environment for physiotherapy. The contribution is supplemented with a pilot study aimed to compare and document, using polyelectromyographic examination, the activity of selected muscles of shoulder girdle and the sequence of their engagement during abduction in the shoulder joint performed against the resistance of elastic band as well as against the resistance of water environment by means of the Auqafin remedy. The results indicate a different sequence of muscular activation during motion performed in water environment and outside of that and also, indicate the finding of lower muscular activity in movements outside the water environment. The results also suggest that in movements performed against the elastic resistance outside the water environment, the rapid myofilaments (muscle filaments) participate more than in movements in water environment. In contrast, the exercise in water will probably encounter prevailing activity of slow filaments, which also participate uniformly in the course of the whole recorded motion. The authors recommend a careful selection and establishment of the plan for using exercise in water environment.
