Anna Straburzyńska-Lupa, Wojciech Romanowski, Agnieszka Romanowska, Zbigniew Brenda – Pain relief and increase of physical function by womac scale in patients with osteoarthritis after two weeks of physical exercise. Fizjoterapia Polska 2004; 4(1); 52-57

Abstract

Background. The most common reason of visiting physician among patients with OA is pain and loss of mobility of the join. Clinical experience suggests effectiveness of physical exercise in decreasing of pain and individual patient improvement in motion. This investigation was made to indicate influence of well prepared program of physical exercise on pain relief and functional ability.Material and methods. 21 women with symptomatic knee and lumbar/sacral (LS)spine OA, mean age 55 years (±4,9 years), were enrolled for two weeks exercise program. Before and after treatment patients filled out the WOMAC questionnaire to assess level of pain and global disease activity.Results and Conclusions. This study showed significant improvement of physical function and decreasing of level of pain according to patient and physician assessment after two weeks with physical exercise program in patients with OA of the knee.

Abstract
Objective. This study aimed to determine the effect of Cryotherapy and selected knee exercises on clinical outcomes of patients with knee osteoarthritis.
Materials and Methods. The researchers utilized interrupted time series research design. Data collection started from 1st of February to the end of August 2017 at Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Department, Menofia University Hospitals. A purposive sample of 100 patients with primary knee osteoarthritis assigned alternatively into two equal groups, 50 patients for each group. 91 patients completed the study (48 in group I and 43 in group II). Three instruments were used for data collection. Clinical data assessment sheet, WOMAC knee osteoarthritis scale, and Knee stroke test.
Results and discussion. There was statistically significant improvement in knee joint pain, stiffness, and physical function in study group I throughout the study (p = 0.000) while there wasn’t any statistically significant difference between both groups throughout the assessment time in joint pain (p = 0.236), stiffness (p = 0.454), and physical function (p =.201). There was a statistically significant suppression in knee joint swelling in the study group I P =0.000.
Conclusion: Knee joint pain, stiffness and physical function is enhanced among Knee osteoarthritis patients who performed exercise program followed by cryotherapy and in those who exposed to conventional therapy. Knee swelling is decreased in patients performed exercise program and cryotherapy.

M. Staniek, M. Kiljański, J. Kałuża-Pawłowska, P. Kiljański – Comparison of the effectiveness of certain physical therapy treatments in shoulder pain in patients with degenerative lesions. Fizjoterapia Polska 2018; 18(4); 6-13

Abstract

Objective. The objective of this study was to assess the effectiveness of laser therapy in shoulder pain in patients with degenerative lesions. The assessment applied to impact of the respective treatments on such parameters as: pain scale, subjective evaluation of health condition, degree of functionality expressed using measurements of the range of movements of the shoulder joint (flexion, extension, abduction) and of the muscle strength based on Lovett scale before and after treatment.
Materials and methods. The research was conducted on a group of 50 patients aged 60-85, with homogenous diagnosis of: degenerative joint disease. The research was conducted in the County Center of Medical Services in Kielce. All patients were divided into two groups of 25 people. The first one included 17 women and 8 men, while the second one – 15 women and 10 men. The first group underwent three physical therapy treatments, i.e.: ultrasound, magnetotherapy, cryotherapy, while the second one was additionally subject to laser therapy.
Results. The results demonstrated that the applied physical therapy treatments in both groups significantly affected the progression of the parameters examined. A larger difference in improvement of the subjective evaluation of the health condition was recorded in the group of patients that did not undergo laser therapy. The results patients from the other group were better in terms of reduction in pain calculated in the VAS scale and of improvement of the range of movements during abduction and extension. The remaining examined parameters, such as: range of flexion and muscle strength, improved to the same degree in both groups. The only statistically relevant difference was in improvement of the range of abduction among the patients who additionally underwent laser therapy.
Conclusions. The examination conducted proved effectiveness of such physical therapy treatments as: cryotherapy, ultrasounds, magnetotherapy, performed with and without laser therapy, applied in pains of the shoulder area in patients with degenerative lesions. The therapy using a medical laser proved more effective.
