Abstract

Ultrasound examination (USG) is becoming more popular among physiotherapists. The term “rehabilitative ultrasound imaging” (RUI) refers to the use of USG in the rehabilitation process. An examination (ultrasound) is used in physiotherapeutic therapy to evaluate the tissue and function of the musculoskeletal system. The real image allows for accurate observation and stimulation of the necessary muscles during kinesiotherapy, while measurements track the treatment’s progress. Furthermore, the ultrasound examination aims to assist the physiotherapist in making an early diagnosis of dysfunctional aspects that may necessitate consultation with another specialty, thereby reducing medical errors. Preparing an educational program and conducting training in accordance with established standards and guidelines will allow physiotherapists to be adequately prepared to perform ultrasound examinations and dispel any doubts about a physiotherapist’s competence and the possibility of performing ultrasound examinations in a medical setting.

Abstract
Introduction. Urinary incontinence is any incident of uncontrolled leakage of urine from the urethra, regardless of the cause. The aim of the study was to assess the dependencies of se-lected factors with the level of knowledge about urinary incontinence in women.
Material and methods. The diagnostic survey using the author’s questionnaire covered 207 women aged 30 to 40 from the Rzeszów poviat, The data were analyzed based on Pearson’s Chi-square test (χ2).
Results. A statistically significant dependence was found between the level of education and the level of knowledge about urinary incontinence (p = 0.001).
Conclusions. Women with higher education have more knowledge about urinary incontinence than women with secondary and vocational education. Educational activities should be aimed mainly at women with secondary and vocational education. The elimination of risk factors should be encouraged, as well as the necessity of early diagnosis of urinary incontinence and immediate treatment.

Zofia Prusiecka, Ludmiła Sadowska, Zbigniew Śliwiński – The role of the visual apparatus in the early diagnostics and rehabilitation of disorders of the central nervous system. Fizjoterapia Polska 2001; 1(1); 43-44

Abstract
The authors present various symptoms that may indicate developmental disorders of the visual apparatus in connection with associations of the neuronal pathway with the sometimes very complicates reflex arches. The Direct Light Stimulation method (DLS) is presented, which may be helpful in the stimulation and rehabilitation of children with damage to the central nervous system.

Strategies of procedure in manual therapy

Tadeusz Kasperczyk, Robert Walaszek

Tadeusz Kasperczyk, Robert Walaszek – Strategies of procedure in manual therapy. Fizjoterapia Polska 2001; 1(2); 173-178

Abstract
Orthopedic manual therapy is involved with treatable joint and bone disorders, i.e. dysfunctions characterized by blocking. Its scope encompasses all diagnostic, preventive, and treatment techniques involving the spine, the limbs, and all other joints.The purpose of this article is to discuss the principles and course of treatment in manual therapy, understood as particular strategies of procedure. This includes the techniques of therapeutic procedure within the framework of three periods: Period I, which involves procedures prior to mobilization or manipulation, in order to create the best possible conditions for this operation; Period II, which pertains to the actual operation (techniques) of removing the block; and Period III, which includes procedures subsequent to manipulation, both immediately after the operation and in a later period of time. The article discusses in detail the proper tasks for each of these periods. Contraindications for manual therapy are also listed.

Injuries and diseases of the knee joint – diagnostic evaluation

Jerzy Widuchowski, Wojciech Widuchowski

Jerzy Widuchowski, Wojciech Widuchowski – Injuries and diseases of the knee joint – diagnostic evaluation. Fizjoterapia Polska 2004; 4(4); 297-306

Abstract

In traumatic injuries and diseases of the knee joint establishing a correct diagnosis is a very important part of therapeutic management. In many cases it is not easy. The reason for this is the possibility of simultaneous injury of many different anatomical joint structures, and as a result the occurrence of clinical symptoms that vary in intensity and often overlap. In diagnostic procedures, the most important task is to establish which of the anatomical structures has been damaged as a result of acute or chronic trauma, and how extensive the loss of joint function actually is. Making a correct diagnosis in acute traumatic injuries of the knee should be done as quickly as possible. The present study contains an outline of diagnostic evaluation in traumatic injuries and diseases of the knee joint. Each part of this outline is fully discussed.

P. Głowacka, M. Przyłudzka – Foot defects in children attending first class of primary school in Silesian voivodeship. Fizjoterapia Polska 2019; 19(2); 94-105

摘要
简介。越来越广泛的社会群体有足部缺陷，此为肌肉无力和韧带关节囊的不稳定而产生，导致足部静态和功能性紊乱。形成这些问题的因素在于姿势不良、教育和预防行动缺乏。
研究目的。通过拓印法对7至10岁间儿童进行足部静态评估，并确定性别、体重和身高（BMI）与所提供参数间的关系。
材料和方法。共30名儿童参与研究，其中包括15名女孩和15名男孩，年龄在7至10岁间，为西里西亚省小学一至三年级的学生。拓印法研究包含4个诊断参数，克拉克足印角度指数、Wejsflog 指數 “W“、γ跟角和α的外翻角等。
結果。观察到BMI与γ和α角数值升高间的显著关系，在所有接受研究的群体中观察到克拉克角度值较低。
结论。1. 在整个群体中观察到纵足足弓减少现象。2. 体重、BMI对足部纵足弓和横足弓有显著影响。

Diagnostics of Balance and Gait Disorders in Patients with Parkinson’s Disease

Abstract

Parkinson’s disease is a chronic, progressing affliction of the human central nervous system. It is one of degenerative diseases and affects mainly the extrapyramidal system, and in particular the substantia nigra of the midbrain.  Along with the axial symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, the other most important ones would include abnormalities of posture and gait. The improper posture has an impact on future problems with locomotion and self-service functions.
Prior to introducing any physiotherapy, there should be carried out a number of tests, which will allow both, quantitative and qualitative assessment the patient’s gait and his or her posture. These tests include among others: gait analysis performed on a treadmill of the ”Zebris” FDM-TDM type, which uses the WinFDM-T data base system, Vicon 460 system for the three-dimensional assessment of gait, Timed Up & Go, 10 MWT or Tinetti tests.
Demographic data indicate the increasing incidence of the Parkinson’s disease, which seems to be due to the gradual lengthening of a human life span. This makes it very important to properly rehabilitate and care for the patients.
As the disease progresses, patients begin to experience discomfort during their daily activities, and in locomotion, and thus their quality of life is being reduced. Here comes the great importance of implemented physiotherapy treatments, which are supposed to maintain, for as long as possible, the patients’ mobility at the level sufficient to enable their independent functioning. Introduced early enough physiotherapy procedures significantly improve gait parameters in patients with the Parkinson’s disease, thus delaying progression of the disease.

The use of pedobarographic examination in children – own experience and review of literature

J. Lorkowski, O. Grzegorowska, I. Kotela – The use of pedobarographic examination in children – own experience and review of literature. FP 2014; 14(4); 46-51

Abstract

A non-invasive method, that can be used to describe the underfoot pressure distribution during stance and gait, is pedobarography. This examination helps to describe biomechanics of motor system, especially foot pathologies, among children and adults. It has been used to assess and monitor the progress and effectivness of undergone treatment. In this article we describe chosen issues of pedobarographic examination in diagnostics and treatment of the motor system in children, in whom an appropriate therapy can be more effective than in adults.
In our opinion, pedobarography should be used more often and widely than now. Together with clinical and radiological examination, it can simply complement standard diagnosctics.
