Abstract
Purpose. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of two types of therapeutic exercise: core stability exercises and movement control exercises in pain and function.
Methods. Thirty-five patients were diagnosed and referred to physiotherapy as CMLBP, their age ranged from 25–40 years old, patients divided randomly into two groups and assessed for their current level of pain using a visual analog scale (VAS) and for disability using Oswestry disability index (ODI) before and after the study. Both groups received a well-documented fully supervised exercise program as group I movement control exercise, and group II received core stability exercises. Results. Showed significant effect of both exercise approaches on reducing pain level and restoring function. Although the group I exercises showed to be more effective in reducing pain than group II, their difference regarding improving function was non-significant. Conclusion. Conservative forms of treatment (therapeutic exercises) still prove it is a successful, cost-effective treatment of choice in patients with chronic mechanical low back pain. Movement control exercises are superior in reducing pain to core stability exercises.

Abstract

The diversity of available strategies enables the choice of the optimal method leading to effective and safe clinical work. One such strategy is the PNF concept, which is characterized by a holistic approach to the patient and his problems. This makes it possible to treat the patient in his/her own environment, using familiar behaviors and situations. This article describes examples of the use of the MTD Control Balance Platform as an auxiliary device in an intensive program of functional exercises based on the PNF concept. Seven patients are described, all treated at the Rehabilitation Clinic of the Rydygier Academy of Medicine in Bydgoszcz. The examples include neurological and orthopedic disorders, as well as sports injuries. Only the patient’s adaptation to independent living is proof of the effectiveness of rehabilitation. This effect can be achieved by conducting therapy in the patient’s own environment, using familiar behaviors and situations. The examples of PNF therapy selected for presentation here, supplemented with the patient’s independent exercising on the MTD Control Platform, satisfy these conditions and can be recommended.

Abstract

The imperfection of posture observed in children of pre-school and early-school age is a physiological condition and results from the lack of ability to stabilize the lumbar spine and adjacent body segments, as well as the imperfect deep feeling at this stage of development. As a result, children of this age have problems with maintaining a stable body system while remaining still and during various activities. To keep the body balanced, they often take a characteristic posture – with both the pelvis and shoulders inclined forward. In order for this condition to not change into the habit of an incorrect posture, it is necessary to ensure that adverse postural situations are eliminated as early as possible, which is supported by the functional exercises proposed in the study.
