Ewa Puszczałowska-Lizis, Dominik Szymański, Piotr Pietrzak, Marcin Wilczyński – Incidence of back pain in people practicing amateur horse riding. Fizjoterapia Polska 2022; 22(4); 6-15

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG1A68mY

Abstract
Introduction. While riding a horse, proper seat requires the trunk positioning so that the rider’s centre of gravity overlaps with the horse’s centre of gravity. Seat errors can lead to repeated and cumulative spinal overloads. The aim of the study was to analyse the incidence of back pain in people who practice amateur horse riding.
Material and methods. The study involved 88 people aged 40-45 years, associated in equestrian centers. The research tool was the author’s questionnaire, Neck Disability Index (NDI) and Oswestry Distability Index (ODI). The collected research results were analysed with the use of Chi-square test and Mann-Whitney U test.
Results. Statistically significant relationships were found between the incidence of pain location and gender (p = 0.001), and also between between the gender and the opinion on the need to use physiotherapy in case of back problems (p = 0.049).
Conclusions. Women report pain in the lumbar and thoracic spine more frequently, while men report pain in the cervical section and entire spine. Women in a greater percentage than men believe that people who practice horse riding as an amateur should attend physiotherapy in case of pain.

Abstract
The objective of the research was to show the significant influence of the angle, depth, height and length of lumbar lordosis on selected features of the spine and pelvis.
Material and methods: The research was carried out in a_group of 2,361 children aged 7 to 15, in 6 consecutive six-month editions. It made it possible to register 16,608 observations of 31 features describing body posture using the photogrammetric method.
Results: For multiple regression analysis with the selection of a_subset of the optimal set of variables, the following influencing features were selected: angle, depth, height and length of lumbar lordosis.
Conclusions.
1. The features of lumbar lordosis do not influence the angle of torsion and inclination of the pelvis, and the influence on the features of the thoracic spine is varied.
2. The features of lumbar lordosis influence the height, depth and angle of thoracic kyphosis.
3. The length of lumbar lordosis does not influence the length of thoracic kyphosis, and the angle of lumbar lordosis does not influence the length of lumbar lordosis.

Prevention and rehabilitation in osteoporosis

Anna Mika, Piotr Mika

Anna Mika, Piotr Mika – Prevention and rehabilitation in osteoporosis. Fizjoterapia Polska 2004; 4(1); 79-85

Abstract

Osteoporosis is a systemic bone disorder, which primarily effects postmenopausal women. The prevention of osteoporosis involves two components: building up high peak bone mass and reducing the rate of bone loss during menopause and aging. Rehabilitation must include pain relief, maintenance of proper posture, rebuilding normal muscle force, and maintaining normal motion range, improvement in bone mineral density, and increasing activity in daily living, in order to stimulate the skeletal system. The aim of the present study is to present, on the basis of literature and our own experience, the importance of physiotherapy in osteoporosis prophylaxis and treatment.

Marek Kiljański, Zbigniew Śliwiński, Wojciech Kufel, Wojciech Kiebzak, Marek Woszczak – Body equilibrium assessment in patients with degenerative changes after whole-body cryostimulation connected with physiotherapy. Fizjoterapia Polska 2007; 7(3); 286-298

Abstract
Background. The authors present the results obtained in a group of 126 participants. The aim of the study was to determine whether a four-week program of physiotherapy including whole-body cryostimulation, applied in patients with degenerative changes in the spine, influences their body equilibrium and pain sensation. Material and methods. The examined group comprised 66 patients with degenerative changes in the lumbar spine, while the control group consisted of 60 participants. Apart from an individually designed rehabilitation program, each patient participated in 20 sessions of whole-body cryostimulation. The measurement of lumbosacral spine mobility and the assessment of pain sensation using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) were performed before the first and after the last session. Moreover, after the first, tenth and twentieth session of general cryostimulation, measurements on a stabilometric platform were conducted. The healthy participants, who were qualified as the control group, underwent tests on the stabilometric platform after one session in the cryogenic chamber. The aim of these tests was to compare the differences in the stabilogram curve in healthy individuals and patients with degenerative changes in the lumbar spine. The effect of cryostimulation procedures on pain sensation and mobility of the lumbosacral spine was assessed. Additionally, the effect of cryogenic temperatures on body equilibrium was studied. Results. The comparison of the results, obtained before the procedure and after completing the therapy indicates that general cryostimulation in a physiotherapeutic program for patients with degenerative changes in the lumbar spine contributes to relaxation of excessively tense muscles. Conclusions. The use of whole body cryostimulation in patients with degenerative changes in the lumbosacral spine, combined with a properly designed and managed physiotherapeutic program, decreases pain sensation in a statistically significant way. The application of cryogenic temperatures, combined with physiotherapeutic program, favourably affect patient body equilibrium.

Adrian Kużdżał, Andrzej Szczygieł, Robert Walaszek – Spinal column shape in pupils with mild, moderate and severe, idiopathic intellectual disability. Fizjoterapia Polska 2010; 10(1); 37-48

Abstract
Background. To date, no studies are available concerning the relationship between the shape of the spinal column and the level of mental retardation. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the spinal column shape in children and adolescents with mild, moderate, and severe intellectual disability.Material and methods. 413 boys and girls aged eleven to thirteen were examined, including 204 persons with various levels of intellectual disability and 209 of their mentally healthy peers, who formed the control group. The Metrecom System, a computerised instrument for three-dimensional diagnostic studies of the musculoskeletal system, was used to examine the shape of the spinal column. 3-D anthropostereometric parameters obtained using the Metrecom System were used to de – scribe in detail and classify individual types of spinal column shape.Results. The intellectually disabled children and youth, in comparison to the healthy population, had much worse postures and an increased incidence of spinal column deformities. The degree of intellectual disability was correlated with the frequency and severity of spinal column deformities.Conclusions. Our results point to an urgent need to verify the current health care practice and improve health care policies, including appropriate methods of medical rehabilitation and corrective therapy of spinal column deformities that would account for the degree of intellectual disability.

Agnieszka Przedborska, Jan W. Raczkowski, Małgorzata Misztal – Evaluation of therapeutic effectiveness of diathermy in patients with degenerative disease of the lumbar spine. Fizjoterapia Polska 2021; 21(2); 70-76

Abstract
Introduction. Diathermy is one of the stimuli used in treatment of degenerative spine disease. Endogenous heat alleviates the symptoms of the disease. Diathermy treatments differ due to wave size and electromagnetic vibration frequency. Objective. Evaluation of the effectiveness of diathermy generated by short waves and radio waves in the treatment of patients with degenerative disease of the lumbar spine. Material and methods. The research was carried out on a group of 68 people with degenerative disease of the lumbar spine, divided into two groups. The study group consisted of 36 people who underwent therapy with radio waves using the Thermo TK device. The comparison group consisted of 32 people who underwent shortwave diathermy treatments. Therapeutic effectiveness was evaluated on the basis of pain assessment according to the VAS scale and the Laitinen pain scale as well as the range of motion measured with the Schober test and the Thomayer test. Results. In both groups, a statistically significant (p <0.0001) pain reduction after therapy according to the Laitinen pain scale was observed (Me (IQR) before and after therapy , respectively: in the study group: 6.5 (5-9) scores vs. 4 (3-5.5) scores and in the comparison group: 6 (5-8) scores vs. 4 (3-5) scores) and according to the VAS scale – in the study group: 6 (5-7.5) scores vs. 4 (3-4) scores and in the comparison group: 6 (5-7.5) scores vs. 3 (3-5) scores. The Thomayer test and the Schober test results also improved significantly in each group. Conclusions. Regardless of the wavelength generating endogenous heat, both treatments reduce pain and improve the range of motion of the lumbar spine in patients with degenerative spine disease.

R. Sawicka – Incidence of degenerative and proliferative changes in the spine. Fizjoterapia Polska 2018; 18(2); 44-50

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to conduct a retrospective analysis of the medical documentation concerning the patients treated by the Physiotherapy Unit of the Teodor Dunin Mazovian Hospital in Rudka in 2017, in order to determine the frequency of degenerative and proliferative changes in the spine depending on the subject’s age group, place of residence and sex.
Materials and methodology. The retrospective method was used to determine the incidence of spinal degeneration, which made it possible to examine a large numer of subjects – 1032 women and 553 men, 1589 subjects in total. The data was entared in the Excel database. The parcentage was calculated separately for all women and for all men. The Chi2 test was used for statistical analysis. Women and men were compared in terms of the distribution of results in the scope of particular analysed variables. Statistically significant results at level p < 0,05 are indicated by *.
Results. It has been concuded that degenerative and proliferative changes in the spine are the most common disease. They usually occur in 61-70 age group degenerative and proliferative L-S spinal changes are more often reported among women living in the country side, and more often for men living in urban areas.
Conclusions:
1. Degenerative and proliferative changes in the spine constitute the most common disease.
2. Degenerative and proliferative changes are more common in the L-S spine
3. The men are more likely to have degenerative and proliferative in LS spine than women.
4. The women are more likely to have degenerative and proliferative in Cspine than men.
5. People in 61-70 age group are most often affected by the degenerative disease of the spine.
6. Degenerative and proliferative spinal changes are more common among women living in the country.
7. Degenerative and proliferative spinal changes are more common among men living in urban areas.

M. Zygmańska, A. Błaszczyk, K. Wegner, W. Samborski, M. Ogurkowska – Assessment of overload changes in the lumbar spine of employees with sedentary nature of work; Fizjoterapia Polska 2018; 18(1); 62-73

Abstract

Objective. The objective of the study was to specify the lumbar spine overload changes in women and men working in a sitting position and to establish when the feeling of discomfort intensifies.
Static position for a long periods of time leads to lumbar spine overload changes. Apart from professional risk factors, sedentary lifestyle also has a tremendous impact on degenerative changes in intervertebral discs.
Material and Methodology. A survey was conducted among 62 office employees, 29 women and 33 men aged 23-61, from a selected corporation, who experienced lumbar pain episodes. The survey was based on the subjective part of the McKenzie method test supplemented with an anthropometric part.
Results. Lumbar pain was reported by 84% percent of the subjects, with the somatic symptoms gender-differentiated and co-occurrence of neck and lumbar pain/discomfort. The pain intensified proportionately to the subjects’ age and when performing professional duties.
Conclusion. Although there are reports on the development of overload changes, sedentary work continues to cause back pain. Cervical and lumbar discomfort is indicative of compensation. An inappropriate sitting position is the reason for accelerated development of overload changes and the related pain.
