Abstract
Objective. The objective of the study was to evaluate the training heart rate in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Material and methods. The study was carried out at the John Paul II Specialist Hospital of the Ministry of Interior and Administration in Głuchołazy at the pulmonary rehabilitation department. Two hundred and five people participated in the study. Each patient included in the study was diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The group consisted of 100 women and 105 men. Rehabilitation models A and B were used in the study. 155 people were included in model B, and 50 people in model A. The average age was 55. The patients underwent a 6-minute walk test before and after rehabilitation. The following data was included in the study: walk test maximum heart rate, the patient’s maximum heart rate and resting heart rate.
Results. Before rehabilitation, 121 patients achieved a result of over 70% of the values determining the correlation between the 6MWT test heart rate and the submaximal heart rate, which constitutes 60% of all patients. However, the mean value of this correlation among all patients was 74.69%. After rehabilitation, 143 patients achieved a result of more than 70% of the values determining the correlation between the 6MWT test heart rate and the submaximal heart rate, which is 70% of all patients. However, the mean value of this correlation among all patients was 79.19%. Before rehabilitation, 205 patients achieved a result of more than 70% of the values determining the correlation between the 6MWT test heart rate and the submaximal heart rate, which constitutes 99.51% of all patients. While, the mean value of this correlation among all patients was 92%. The number of patients who, before rehabilitation, achieved more than 70% of the values determining the correlation between the 6MWT test heart rate and the submaximal heart rate, was 100% of all patients. The mean value of this correlation among all patients was 90.15%.
Conclusions. 1. The maximum heart rate achieved by patients during the 6-minute walk test corresponds to the maximum heart rate before rehabilitation in 60% of patients, and after rehabilitation in 70% of patients.
2. The maximum heart rate achieved by patients during the 6-minute walk test corresponds to the training heart rate before rehabilitation in 95% of patients, and after rehabilitation in 100% of patients.
3. It seems the maximum heart rate achieved by patients during the 6-minute walk test can be used in determining the patient’s load during exercise.

Abstract
Objective. The objective of the study was to assess the effectiveness of Super Inductive Stimulation in respiratory therapy in patients after SARS-CoV2 infection.
Material and methods. The study was carried out in the specialist hospital of the Ministry of the Interior and Administration in Głuchołazy, in the pulmonary department. Fifteen men aged 35 to 63 and fifteen women aged 32 to 69 participated in the study. Each patient underwent ten sessions of Super Inductive Stimulation.
Results. The use of Super Inductive Stimulation resulted in the reduction of moderate cough, chest pain, shortness of breath, severe cough with phlegm/sputum, sweating, headache, nausea, diarrhoea, muscle pain, lack of appetite, problems with concentration, problems with thinking and sleeping, and fatigue.
Conclusions. Analysis of the results showed a positive effect of the applied therapy. Taking into account the answers given before and after rehabilitation, the condition of the respondents improved by 20.18%. The largest differences in the results were observed in the case of headache, diarrhoea, and sleeping problems, being 39.85%, 30.91% and 28.57%, respectively. The comparison of the study results showed that the patients’ quality of life improved.

Review of literature on the application of Kinesio Taping (KT) in internal diseases: in surgery, cardiology and pulmonology

M. Krajczy, K. Bogacz, J. Łuniewski, Z. Śliwiński, D. Gąbka, J. Szczegielniak – Review of literature on the application of Kinesio Taping (KT) in internal diseases: in surgery, cardiology and pulmonology . Fizjoterapia Polska 2018; 18(2); 32-42

Abstract

Introduction. So far, there have been few materials on Kinesio Taping (KT), in particular those meeting the criteria of scientific fact-based materials. The available literature includes articles on the possibility of using KT, but the results presented are not unequivocal. Some hypotheses and theories are contradictory, and many of them are not supported with any study results, and the conclusions presented seem questionable.
Objective. The objective of this study is to present the current state of knowledge of the possibility to apply the KT method in internal diseases: in cardiology and pulmonology.
Material and methods. The first stage was conducted from October to November 2017. It included preliminary selection aimed at identifying the works on the possibility of applying dynamic taping. The second stage of the research was conducted from December 2017 to January 2018, and consisted in a detailed analysis of the selected works on application and assessment of effects of dynamic taping in surgery, pulmonology and cardiology.
Results. When assessing the effects of KT in internal diseases in cardiology and pulmonology, the effects were classified as poor effects (PE), effects (E) and anti-effects (AE), when the results of the trial do not confirm the therapeutic activities. 2 E were discovered in assessing the effects of KT in surgery (2 articles). 3 E were discovered in the study of application in pulmonology (3rd article). No articles of the A reference level, concerning application of KT in cardiology.
Conclusions. Three conclusions were formulated on the basis of analysis of the source materials:
1. There has been a recent progress in the research into the possibility of applying dynamic taping in physical therapy, including in internal diseases: pulmonology and cardiology.
2. There are few prospective, randomized trials associated with application of dynamic taping, conducted on a large enough group of patients.
3. Few articles in the literature that explain the principles of DT, meet the criteria of research based on scientific facts.
