Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in an almost immediate need to limit social contact, including access to full-time education.
Teaching in the 2020/2021 academic year relied almost entirely on remote education. Medical students felt the problem of the lack of student-patient contact in particular. Internships and apprenticeships were kept to a minimum, and in many universities there were no apprenticeships, which also translated into the lack of acquisition of practical knowledge, which is very important in the work of a future medic.
The study covered students from all voivodeships. The nationwide character of the study made it possible to obtain objective results.
The objective of the study was to examine the level of satisfaction and acquired skills of students of the medical faculty, i.e. physiotherapy within remote education.
The results of the study and the literature review show that the preferred form of education in medical faculties is a mixed form of education, and student satisfaction with the remote form is rather low. It has been shown that this method of education does not lower the level of satisfaction, and at the same time has a positive effect on the economic aspect of studying.

Dariusz Lusina, Mateusz Curyło, Marcin Mikos, Katarzyna Placek, Jan W. Raczkowski – Patellar dislocation – conservative or surgical treatment. Fizjoterapia Polska 2022; 22(4); 28-31

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG1A60LR

Abstract
Patellar dislocation is an emergency, requiring immediate medical intervention, followed by the cooperation of the orthopedist and physiotherapist in returning to full health, as well as reducing the risk of relapse. The kneecap is an integral part of the knee joint and is responsible for its proper functioning. Among the methods of treatment used, there are conservative and surgical methods. The article is an attempt to answer the question whether there is an advantage of some methods over others. Materials available on the PubMed and Cochrane Library websites were used to obtain answers to the question asked. Due to different standards of management, the advantage of surgical over conservative has not been established, but there are researchable factors that may help in making therapeutic decisions.

Key words:
patellar dislocation, conservative treatment, surgical treatment

Abstract
Purpose of study. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of sacral-lumbar orthoses on the occurrence of pain in patients with low back pain (LBP) and the effects of these orthoses on the muscles that stabilize the trunk based on the available literature.
Methods. For the purpose of this study, the following databases were searched: Pubmed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, Medline, and others using the Google Scholar search engine using the following keywords: low back pain, lbp exercise, low back pain epidemiology, low back pain orthosis, low back pain therapy, LBP treatment, lumbar sacral orthosis.
Results. 26 of the 92 articles searched by the above method were analyzed in relation to the subject of the use of sacral-lumbar orthoses in patients with spinal pain syndrome. The analysis did not show that wearing a corset negatively affects muscle strength. Most current studies recommend using a corset in combination with exercise and/or pharmacotherapy for LBP.
Conclusion. There are not enough studies to conclusively determine the effect of lumbar sacral orthoses on the sensation of pain in the lumbar spine. Among the main limitations of the analyzed studies are difficulty in measuring pain, as pain is a subjective sensation, and the significant number of possible causes of LBP, which are sometimes difficult to specify.

Abstract
The main task of orthoses in neurological diseases is stabilization, correction and improvement of gait function. Orthoses actively support the work of muscles by proper alignment of individual body segments in relation to each other to facilitate the performance of the planned function. During upright standing, the task of the orthosis is to keep the upper ankle in a fixed, intermediate position, usually at an angle of 90°. This increases the base of support provided by the feet flat on the ground. Stabilization in the joints gives a chance to maintain the correct length of the muscles, and thus protects against contractures. Individual orthoses are used during upright standing and to improve the gait function with dedicated footwear. The brace widens the contour of the foot, so the footwear for orthoses is usually wider than the standard one, but it cannot be longer than the brace. One of the leading guidelines in gait analysis used in children with gait disorders are the criteria adopted by the Rancho Los Amigos Hospital. Despite the complexity of the problems with gait that patients report to a physiotherapist, a simple strategy should be adopted when it comes to securing with the orthosis. The role of orthopedic equipment is to support muscle failure by obtaining a stable stance phase.

Abstract
Objective. The main objective of this study was to determine the effect of wearing a Chêneau brace on the quality of life of patients with idiopathic scoliosis.
Methodology. The study used a short questionnaire that consisted of 12 questions – 4 questions about demographics and 8 questions about quality of life. The investigated aspects of life included difficulty in performing daily activities, feelings of embarrassment, sleep discomfort, irritability, and patients’ perceived benefits of this treatment procedure. Questionnaires were filled during follow-up visits. The study was conducted on a group of 30 patients aged 9–16 years treated for at least 6 months. Among the respondents there were 22 females and 8 males.
Results. Despite the small study group, the results of the statistical analysis confirmed the hypothesis that the brace significantly affects the quality of life of patients and has a greater impact on the quality of life of the female gender due to the disruption of aesthetics and the associated sense of shame. An association was observed between the sense of shame related to wearing a brace and the desire to “hide” the brace under clothing, as well as the perception of the benefits of wearing a brace and a lower sense of shame.
Conclusion. In the processes of rehabilitation and treatment of the patient with idiopathic scoliosis, a holistic approach that considers not only activities related directly to physiology, but also to patients’ well-being and quality of life is important.

Orthotic management in the rehabilitation of children with plano-valgus foot

Agnieszka Ciukszo, Mateusz Curyło, Ewa Kucharska,Marcin Mikos, Jan W. Raczkowski

Agnieszka Ciukszo, Mateusz Curyło, Ewa Kucharska,Marcin Mikos, Jan W. Raczkowski – Orthotic management in the rehabilitation of children with plano-valgus foot. Fizjoterapia Polska 2021; 21(5); 124-131

Abstract
Plano-valgus foot is a common three-plane deformity that appears at developmental age. It is characterized by the eversion of the calcaneus in relation to the tibia, foot pronation and lowering of the medial longitudinal arch under load. Joint hypermobility and significant body weight are believed to increase the prevalence of plano-valgus foot at all ages. There is no consensus on the proper management of flat feet. This disagreement is primarily due to the fact that there is no clear-cut approach to distinguishing pathological or physiological flat feet and to determining who needs treatment. One of the methods of supporting foot correction is the use of orthopaedic equipment in the form of shoe insoles or SMO/RING orthoses. The introduction of repositioning in the lower ankle joint is intended to restore the natural foot support system and to reduce the compensation at higher levels in the joints of the lower limbs, in the pelvis and torso.

Maicki – Comparison of early and late surgical outcomes of patients after total hip arthroplasty in terms of the type of surgical approach and assessment of the level of fitness. Fizjoterapia Polska 2021; 21(4); 190-203

Abstract
Osteoarthritis is the most common form of human joint pathology. It is estimated that it affects about 6% of the world’s population. In addition to the hand and knee joints, the hip joint is one of the most common joints affected by OA.
The study included 59 randomly selected patients (from a group of over 600 people operated in a similar period) of the Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation Department of the Centre for Rehabilitation and Orthopaedics in Krakow, who underwent THA due to advanced degenerative changes using a cementless prosthesis.
The objective of the study was to compare the early and late outcomes of the procedure (patient’s fitness level and subjective assessment) using the anterolateral (according to Watson-Jones) and lateral (McFarland and Osborne as modified by Hardinge) approach.
The obtained results confirm better outcomes in terms of the abduction strength scale (SO%), HHS, VAS, frequency of the Trendelenburg sign and partially mobility (external rotation) in relation to short-term follow-up (especially after 6 and 12 weeks), but not long-term follow-up (after 24 weeks and 11-12 years).
It was found that people who underwent surgery using the lateral approach (according to Hardinge) recover faster than people who underwent surgery with the use of the anterolateral approach (according to Watson-Jones).

Non-invasive treatment of plagiocephaly with the use of corrective helmets in infants

Agnieszka Ciukszo, Mateusz Curyło, Marcin Mikos, EwaKucharska, Jan W. Raczkowski

A. Ciukszo, M. Curyło, M. Mikos, E. Kucharska, Jan W. Raczkowski – Non-invasive treatment of plagiocephaly with the use of corrective helmets in infants. Fizjoterapia Polska 2021; 21(4); 32-41

Abstract
The use of skull correction is controversial, and treatment recommendations and reporting of results vary. The most commonly observed deformities of the skull are: plagiocephaly, brachycephaly and scaphocephaly. Treatment includes repositioning, physical therapy, and orthotic treatment with an adapted cranial remoulding orthosis (CRO). Positional plagiocephaly should be differentiated from torticollis, which is also one of the main causes of this deformity. Cranial remoulding orthosis yields better and faster results in younger patients, with age the degree of correction slows down with age. CRO is most effective when initiated before the 5th month of age. Apart from positioning therapy, physiotherapy and the use of a CRO shortens the treatment time and improves the results in severe cases of head asymmetry.
