Abstract
[Resumen] Introducción y Objetivos: La osteoporosis presenta una
serie de consecuencias que pueden limitar el estado de
salud de la persona y sus actividades de la vida diaria. La
Hidrología Médica propone diferentes formas de
enfrentarse a los síntomas y signos de ésta; desde el
campo de la terapia física el uso del medio acuático se
muestra como una herramienta terapéutica que nos
permite aprovechar sus propiedades para la
rehabilitación de los pacientes, fundamentado a través delos principios físicos que el agua nos ofrece: mecánico,
térmico y químico. Así nos planteamos la necesidad de determinar la evidencia científica existente en los
estudios primarios que relacionen la repercusión de la terapia acuática en la prevención y el tratamiento de la osteoporosis.
Métodos: Realizamos una revisión sistemática con búsquedas en las plataformas de información Biblioteca Cochrane Plus, EBSCOHost, OvidSP y Web Of
Knowlegde y en la bases de datos PEDro, Medline y Teseo
de los artículos que utilizaron un programa de terapia
acuática en personas con osteoporosis u osteopenia.
Además, efectuamos una búsqueda manual en la revista
Journal of Aquatic Physical Therapy. Evaluamos la
calidad metodológica de los artículos obtenidos y su
nivel de evidencia. El límite temporal de la búsqueda
fueron los meses de junio y julio de 2009, y actualizada
en diciembre de 2010.
Resultados: El proceso de inclusión de los artículos nos
dio un resultado de 10 artículos con una calidad
metodológica variable y un nivel de evidencia
mayoritario de I y II, según el Proyecto de desarrollo de
guías basadas en la evidencia del Norte de Inglaterra.
Conclusiones: La evidencia científica de los estudios
primarios de la revisión mostró que la aplicación de un
programa de ejercicios acuáticos es efectiva a la hora de
incidir sobre la osteoporosis, especialmente en mujeres
postmenopáusicas.
[Abstract] Introduction and aims: The health status and daily living activities could be influenced by a series of consequences derived from osteoporosis. Nowadays Hydrology suggests different ways to face the symptoms and signs of this pathology. On the other side, physical therapy shows the use of an aquatic environment as a therapeutic tool which let us to employ its properties to get benefits in the rehabilitation of a patient. This aspect is based on its physical principles: mechanic, thermal and chemical. Therefore, we consider the need of determining the scientific evidence we could find in articles which show a relationship between the aquatic therapy and its repercussions in prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. Method: We performed a systematic review through anelectronic search in Cochrane Libray Plus, EBSCOHost, Medline, OvidSP, PEDro, Teseo and Web Of Knowlegde. We selected all articles which developed an aquatictherapy programme in people with osteoporosis. Inaddition, the Aquatic Physical Therapy Journal wasexplored manually. Once finished this process, weevaluated the methodological quality and evidence level of the articles we get. All the process was made inJune/July 2009, and updated in December 2010. Results: The inclusion process retrieved a result of 10articles. The methodological quality of them was different, as well as the evidence level (most of them get a level I and II) according to the North of England evidence-basedguideline development project. Conclusions: In accordance with this review, most of thearticles showed an effective result once an aquatic therapyprogramme is applied to react to the osteoporosis, specially located in postmenopausal women.
