Abstract

Background: Elastic resistance exercise is a popular type of exercise. Elastic bands are widely used in pre-competition preparation and for sports performance improvement. Purpose: The purpose of the present review is the study of the effect using exercise with elastic resistance bands, in walking kinematics and functionality level after surgical repair of low extremity degenerative diseases. Methodology: A systematic literature review was carried out at Advanced Scholar Google, Cochrane, PubMed and Embase databases, a chronological range from 1999 to 2022. Terms used in the search were as follows: “elastic resistance exercise”, “elastic resistance bands”, “Thera-band”, “arthropathy”, “hip replacement”. Results: Systematic elastic resistance exercise in the frame of a rehabilitation program lasting 8-12 weeks, provides results comparable to an isotonic exercise program, using free weights or constant resistance devices. Elastic resistance bands are commonly used for increasing muscle strength and range of motion and also for static and dynamic balance, walking ability and functionality level improvement. Important benefits observed in metabolic biochemical health biomarkers in the elderly.
