300 males experiencing pain and motor dysfunction as a result of lumbar osteochondrosis received sulfide balneotherapy. The baths contained moderate (50-150 mg/l) and high concentrations (150-250 mg/l) of hydrogen sulfide. The effect of the treatment was assessed with repeated goniometry by means of specially devised instruments by 6 parameters. According to the degree measurements, the recovered motility in the lumbar spine in patients on large-concentration baths surpassed that in patients on less concentrated ones 1.5-fold.
