Abstract

Background. Degenerative joint disease is regarded as a civilization-related disease, and is one of the most vital problems facing global medical care at the turn of the century. In most cases this problem is connected with the hip joint, mainly among elderly people. The aim of our study was to estimate the efficiency of selected physiotherapeutic procedures
in the treatment of degenerative disease of the hip joint. Material and methods. We examined 60 persons with hip problems. The age of the patients oscillated between 47 and 77 years, with a mean of 62,8 ±10,31 years. The patients were divided into 4 subgroups, who received the same kinesitherapeutic procedures but different physical agents, such as cryotherapy, laser, magnetic field, and high-frequency impulse electromagnetic field. The duration of treatment was 21 days. We performed a full orthopedic examination before and after therapy. Results. Our results showed that the level of pain went down and the range of movement went up after treatment. Conclusions. Physiotherapy is a suitable method for treating degenerative changes in the hip joint. The time of observation was too short to allow for assessment of the improvement of the trophic properties of muscles.

Abstract
Background. Physiotherapy is very often the first step in a treatment of back pain. The aim of kinesis therapy is a probe of a damaged disc reposition. Beside of this kinesis therapy improve an elasticity of ligaments and makes stronger a paravertebral muscles. Physical therapy procedures plays significant role in a pain treatment in subjective categories of course. Material and methods. All participants of that study were selected by clinical examination and analyses of accessory investigations. Clinical examination was repeated after twenty days of treatment by different physiotherapeutic procedures. So forty patients were included in a treatment. Status of health was calculated by typical orthopedic procedure and total pain pattern questionnaire. The aim of study was to state if physiotherapy is useful method of pain treatment and to compare effects different groups of procedures. Results. All participants of that study state positive effects of a treatment which was used during twenty days. A majority of them described pain after a treatment as a small discomfort or did not feel pain at all. Beside of these findings they concluded that a frequency of pain appearance depressed in near all analyzed cases. Conclusion. Back pain caused by disc derangement positively responded on physiotherapeutic procedures. A selection of particular methods is not so important in effectiveness categories. The treatment is the most successful when kinesis therapy and physical therapy are joined.

Abstract
Background. Few rehabilitation problems raise so much controversy as the timing of rehabilitation and the choice of rehabilitation techniąues in patients following posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction. PCL damage occurs in almost 37% of injuries to the knee joint. PCL plays a significant role in stabilising the knee joint. As the signs and symptoms of PCL damage are not so clear-cut as in injuries of other ligaments, a correct diagnosis and institution of treatment are often delayed. A key problem in rehabilitation of these patients is the need to protect the graft. Accordingly all rehabilitation procedures should be carefully supervised. Since there are few available publications concerned with the rehabilitation of patients following PCL surgery, the authors decided to present their own model of rehabilitation. The key elements of this scheme, such as the timing and choice of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures are compared to other methodologies presented in the literaturę.Fuli recovery reąuires a long period of rehabilitation that is dwided into several stages. Ultimately the fuli rangę ofmovement and appropriate muscle strength are restored, and the patient regains fuli motor control thanks to the restoration of proprioception. The authors propose a model of biomechanical investigations enabling objective evaluation ofthe rehabilitation process following PCL reconstruction surgery.
