Mirosław Janiszewski, Anna Błaszczyk – An evaluation of the effectiveness of magnetotherapy as a factor supporting rehabilitation on the basis of selected biomechanic and psychotechnical indices. Fizjoterapia Polska 2001; 1(1); 39-42

Abstract
The aim of this study was to examine the impact of longterm magnetic field stimulation on the rehabilitation of post-stroke patients and to determine how quickly these patients gain locomotor efficiency. A group of 180 patients 50-70 years old after stroke received rehabilitation and low frequency magnetic field stimulation. As a criterion for evaluation purposes the authors used selected biomechanical and psychotechnical indices. The study shows that magnetotherapy in post-stroke patients undergoing rehabilitation has a positive effect in the improvement of muscle function, motor coordination indices, and some biomechanical parameters (strength under dynamic and static circumstances).

J. Pasek, T. Pasek, G. Cieślar, A. Sieroń – Magnetostimulation in the treatment of chronic wound after removal of muscle peroneus longus as a traffic accident consequence – case report; Fizjoterapia Polska 2018; 18(1); 26-31

Abstract

Undoubtedly, the ever frequent use of physical medicine methods in many fields of medicine is a fact. A wide spectrum of procedures enables instituting suitable treatment, reducing treatment time, as well as social and economic costs of treatment. The above applies to pathological states and injuries of the locomotor system, soft tissues, as well as chronic wounds. The pharmacological treatment applied proves to be insufficient, costly, and lengthy in many cases. The paper reports positive result of treatment of a 17-year old patient with persistent chronic wound after removal of long fibular muscle (due to its necrosis) in the right leg, as consequence of a traffic accident. In the treatment, magnetostimulation (variable magnetic field) procedures were applied for 12 weeks, leading to complete healing of the surgical wound. The wound healing allowed the patient to move about unaided (without elbow crutches, feeling no pain), while the positive outcome of treatment enhanced the patient’s quality of life. Physiotherapeutic methods commenced on admission to the complex treatment in patients on dermatology ward conduct to total healing wound.

The effect of magnetic field on the signal transduction

The effect of magnetic field on the signal transduction. FP 2014; 14(1); 50-58

Abstract

The therapy using the magnetic field has been known for centuries. Today it is a technique widely used in practice due to low harmfulness, wide applicability and good clinical outcomes with relatively low outlay. The biological effect of the magnetic field is related, inter alia, with analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect. The analgesic activity is primarily based on the endogenous opioid system. The magnetic field regulates opioid analgesic by affecting the calcium channels, and Ca2+ concentration. Furthermore, the magnetic field enhances the immune system affecting the inflammatory reactions. One of the mechanisms of anti-inflammatory effect of magnetotherapy may also be an antioxidant activity. The confirmation of the analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect of the magnetic field are clinical trials conducted in various institutions in the world. Have been documented, among others, studies which used magnetic therapy in the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome, diabetic neuropathy and fibromyalgia. The aim of this study is to present the current state of knowledge on the mechanisms of action of analgesic and anti-inflammatory magnetic field.
