This detailed study outlines a comprehensive approach to the balneophysiotherapeutic (BFT) recovery of patients with peripheral nerve paralysis affecting the lower limbs. It provides theoretical and practical frameworks based on clinical and paraclinical diagnostic methods, incorporating modern physiotherapeutic methodologies aimed at improving neuromotor function and patient autonomy.

Part I: Clinical Framework

  • Generalities: Definitions, classifications, and epidemiological statistics

  • Etiopathogenesis: Underlying causes, biological mechanisms, and anatomical pathology

  • Diagnostic Criteria:

    • Clinical: Subjective and objective signs

    • Paraclinical: Radiological scans and lab evaluations

  • Disease Evolution and Prognosis

  • Treatment Approaches:

    • Prophylactic methods

    • Hygienic-dietetic strategies

    • Pharmacological treatments

    • Orthopedic and surgical interventions

Part II: BFT Therapeutic Methodologies

  1. Principles and Objectives
    Establishes targeted therapeutic aims: restoring mobility, reducing inflammation, and preventing muscle atrophy.

  2. Hydro-Thermotherapy Treatment

    • Techniques: Immersion, alternating baths

    • Effects: Improved circulation, reduced neuralgia

  3. Electrotherapy Treatment

    • Techniques: Low-frequency currents (e.g. TENS)

    • Effects: Muscle stimulation, nerve regeneration support

  4. Massage Therapy

    • Physiological Effects: Promotes blood flow and reduces spasms

    • Regional Anatomy: Lower limb muscular and neural pathways

    • Techniques: Effleurage, petrissage, vibration

    • Joint Mobilization (Kinesitherapy): Passive and active exercises

    • Medical Gymnastics: Postural correction and neuromotor re-education

  5. Occupational Therapy

    • Enhances fine motor function and everyday adaptability

  6. Balneological Treatment

    • Applications: Mineral water immersion, mud wraps

    • Benefits: Anti-inflammatory effects, joint and nerve rejuvenation

This content is ideal for use in coursework, clinical practice prep, and advanced physiotherapy modules. It integrates multi-modal therapies aligned with evidence-based recovery protocols specific to lower limb neuropathies.
