During this time, Fundacion Maritere has supported 68 active patients through physiotherapy. Our institution has faced a huge challenge vis a vis the pandemic, since most of our work has to be face to face with patients and given the situation, many of them had to stop attending their physiotherapy sessions. However, this year we have managed to receive patients again, with all due restrictions and safety measures. Patients that attend physiotherapy present 5 different kinds of rheumatic diseases, being arthritis the most common one (most patients are women). After months of being treated, there are some results worth sharing: 82% of patients have referred complete vanishment of pain after treatment; 88% of patients gained mobility of more than 50% of initial mobility (previous to treatment); complete independence of patients in their daily life, moved 24% from the beginning to the end of treatment. All of the previous translates in a better quality of life, which is what matters the most for Fundacion Maritere.
