Abstract

Introduction. Habitual posture of professional athletes is closely connected with the demands of sport training, and its characteristics depend on the type of sport involved. The purpose of this study was to assess the posture and foot loads of female volleyball players from the KSZO Ostrowiec team playing in the Orlen Liga (the Polish Women’s Volleyball League) in comparison to women in a similar age group who do not play sports professionally.
Materials and methods. The study was conducted between 2014 and 2015, at the start of the volleyball season, and used the DIERS Formetric 4D analysis system. The results of the female volleyball players were compared with healthy women in the same age group who do not play sports professionally.
Results. The results obtained in this study indicate that female volleyball players have lower values of the lumbar lordosis angle in comparison to the control group. The values of the trunk inclination angle (relative to the vertical plane) were also significantly different between the two groups, with the analyzed group having higher values. With regard to the other analyzed variables i.e. kyphosis and foot loads, the study found no statistically significant differences between the groups.
Conclusion. The assessment of the habitual posture of female volleyball players conducted in the present study suggests that the demands of sport training can have an influence on how the body posture of professional athletes develops.

Abstract

Considering the serious nature of complications pertaining to the trauma of the glenohumeral joint, the priority is to address the underlying cause as well as symptoms. This research was conducted in order to evaluate the effectiveness of localized cryotherapy and the PNF method on the mobility of the glenohumeral joint, in patients presenting with subacromial impingement syndrome. Each group (test and control) consisted of 18 patients. Patients in the test group were subjected to treatment of local cryotherapy and PNF therapy in the treatment of the shoulder girdle for fifteen days whilst the control group were treated with local cryotherapy procedures for the duration. There is little doubt that local cryotherapy is and effective treatment for various kinds of dysfunction however when combined with other treatment methods (such as PNF) a better outcome is achieved.

Abstract

Introduction. The back pain is frequently caused by spine ligament weakness, changes associated with intervertebral joints, overload, degenerative disc disease and degeneration in the elderly. One of the most crucial results of the local cryotherapy on the surgical area is an analgesic effect. Kinesiology Taping method is based on the alignment of muscle tone on the application area. This technique contributes to increase range of motion and muscle strength.
Material and methods. The study group included 90 patients with degenerative disease of the lumbar spine. They were from Rehabilitation Clinic in Szczecin. All subjects underwent the examination of mobility of the spine and were asked to rate their pain on the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) on the first and fifteenth day of treatment. The I group was subjected to Kinesiology Taping method and local cryotherapy 15 times. We used fascia technique in accordance with the methodology. The patients from the II groups were also subjected to local cryotherapy. The III group consisted of the patients who were waiting for the treatment. They underwent the examination of mobility of the spine at the same time as the other groups.
Results. We observed significant pain reduction and significant improvement in motion of lumbar spine in the I group, which was subjected to Kinesiology Taping method in conjunction with local cryotherapy. In the group which was subjected to local cryotherapy, a slight improvement in motion of lumbar spine and in reduction in pain could be observed.
In the III group, which consisted of the patients awaiting the treatment, we observed no significant improvement in flexion or extension of lumbar spine.
Conclusions. Kinesiology Taping method in conjunction with local cryotherapy results in the improvement of lumbar spine mobility. The use of the Kinesiology Taping method together with local cryotherapy has a significant influence on decreasing the intensity of pain.  The application of local cryotherapy alone has significantly lower therapeutic effects than its application together with Kinesiology Taping method.

Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of the respiratory efficience therapy of patients with 2nd grade idiopathic scoliosis. The study was conducted at the Centre for Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation for Children and Youth in Konstancin-Jeziorno, Mazowieckie’s Rehabilitation Center “STOCER”. The study comprised 60 patients with diagnosed 2nd grade idiopathic scoliosis at the age of 8-17 years. The observation period lasted four weeks. The subjects were divided into two groups, study and control of 30 persons. In both groups implemented kinesiotherapy program, and the study group was additionally applied the efficiency of respiratory therapy. The tests were performed using a spirometer Micro Plus, by means of it was setted three parameters: FVC, FEV1, PEF. Results: In the test group, there was an increase in all parameters, compared to the baseline measurement. In the study group and the control there was a statistical increase in all studied parameters, only PEF’s improvement was not statistically significant. In the study group there was more increase in the level of the analyzed variables than in the case of persons belonging to the control group. Conclusions: Respiratory therapy improves lung function parameters in patients with 2nd grade idiopathic scoliosis becoming an important element in a comprehensive physiotherapy program. The use of respiratory kinesiotherapy in children with 2nd grade idiopathic scoliosis contributes to the improvement of all indicators, including significantly FEV1 and FVC.

S. Jandziś, E. Puszczałowska-Lizis, M. Kiljański – Healing gymnastics in activity of gymnastic units on Polish land before 1914. FP 2014; 14(1); 74-84

Abstract

The beginning of organised forms of the healing gymnastics in Poland is connected with the formation of gymnastic units. The first institutions of that kind were formed in Warsaw – Matthesa Teodor Gymnastic Plant (1831), Cracow – Ludwik Bierkowski Gymnastic School (1837), Poznań – Teofil Matecki Gymnastic Plant (1840) and in Lvov – Organopatical Plant of Teodor Bakody (1856). On the base of listed units in Warsaw, Cracow, Poznań and Lvov were formed four first centres of the development of the healing gymnastics on Polish land. Activity of gymnastic units had a significant influence into the more late development of physiotherapy and the medical rehabilitation in Poland. At first healing gymnastics based on German patterns was applied in the plants, and in consecutive years was implemented a Swedish system of the gymnastics of P. H. Ling and method of the mechanotherapy of G. Zandera. The owners of 19th-century gymnastic plants In Poland were doctors and the first specialists in the field of the treatment with the move from outside of the medical world – precursors of contemporary physiotherapists. In this period were also formed the first schools educating physiotherapists in our country.

Abstract

This article is a result of the analysis of source materials which were, among others, files of Galicia spas, information from tourist guides, advertising brochures, as well as daily and medical publications of the Galician period. The aim of the study was to present the original method of naturopathy applied by dr Apollinary Tarnavski in the years 1893-1939 in his own clinic in Hutsul-Kosovo. Both the method and its foundations are original and can be used by those interested in the problem of the evolution of physiotherapy and physical medicine.
Dr A. Tarnavski’s healing system was based on the use of outdoor activity in the form of gymnastics (especially respiratory), hiking, sports and physical work in the garden. This therapy was supplemented by water treatments based on the Kneipp method, inhalation, drinking procedures, as well as sun and air bathing. No less important factor was the medicinal vegetarian diet and even starvation. Cigarettes and alcohol were banned in the clinic, and drugs were used only in special cases. The philosophy behind dr A. Tarnawski’s methods was not only treatment, but also teaching the people to lead a healthy and hygienic lifestyle. Dr A. Tarnavski’s method was enormously popular in Poland and drew to his clinic many eminent personalities, such as artists, writers, professors, journalists and even the clergy.
Based on his experience, ideological assumptions, the knowledge gained from his trips to the national and international clinics, dr A. Tarnavski developed an original method due to which he should be perceived as the precursor of modern naturopathy, he is also the precursor in the prevention of civilization hazards and geriatric rehabilitation in Poland. Despite the passing of many years, his methods are still valid.

M. Woszczak, K. Syrewicz, M. Kotkowski, M. Kiljański – Mobilisation of proximal radioulnar joint and functioning of the arm after forearm fracture. FP 2015; 15(1); 58-73

Abstract

Research objective. The research aims to evaluate the effect of mobilisation of proximal radioulnar articulation on the hand function after a forearm fracture.
Material and methods. The research involved 60 patients over the age of 50 who were subject to treatment for limitation of hand function resulting from a forearm fracture. The respondents were randomly divided into equal research and control groups and subjected to a series of ten physiotherapy treatments, including low-frequency electromagnetic field therapy, blue filter Sollux lamp and physiotherapy in the form of free active exercises of the elbow, wrist and fingers. The research group also underwent the mobilisation of proximal radioulnar articulation using the Kaltenborn-Evjenth method.
Results. The analysis of the data obtained showed that mobilisation of proximal radioulnar articulation improved the clinical and functional condition of patients after a forearm fracture.
Conclusions. The respondents who went through a rehabilitation program which included mobilisation of proximal radioulnar articulation, assessed their pain level as being lower. They also achieved a wider range of dorsiflexion, palmar flexion, ulnar and radial deviation as well as supination and pronation motion in the radioulnar joint. Additionally, therapy that included the mobilisation resulted in improved strength of cylindrical grip.

Abstract

The aim of this paper was to make an attempt at characterizing a profile of patients referred for intramural systemic rehabilitation therapies. The analysis covered also an assessment of effectiveness of the rehabilitation applied to the patients.
The research material were data reported by five departments of intramural cardiac rehabilitation which had signed contracts with the Lodz Voivodeship Department of the National Health Fund. All the services had been performed in 2013.
The research showed that the largest group of patients subjected to intramural cardiac rehabilitation in the area of Lodz voivodeship in 2013 were the patients aged 56-75 (68,02% of all the researched).
The research analysis showed that the most commonly reported diagnosis was “unspecified heart failure” (58,04% of the whole of the research material).
The analysis of the modes of discharge from rehabilitation units showed that the mode of “completion of therapeutic or diagnostics process” accounted for 76,75% of all the researched patients.
It was noted that the vast majority of the patients subjected to cardiac rehabilitation were men (67,17% of the whole).
