Abstract
Introduction. Playing football is associated with the risk of injury, leading to short- and long-term health consequences. The aim of this study was to analyze perception, attitudes and practices of injury prevention among football players.
Material and methods. The research covered 100 men aged 18-26, practicing football in randomly selected fourth-league clubs in the Podkarpackie Voivodeship, Poland The research was carried out using the diagnostic survey method. The tool of choice were an author’s 3-part survey questionnaire. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to analyze the results.
Results. The level of preventive behaviors was low in 30% of the players, medium in 41% of the players, and high in 29% of the players. There were statistically significant differences in the level of health behaviors. Football players who re-injured had a higher level of health-related behaviors.
Conclusions. Most football players are inadequately informed about proper injury prevention methods. The implementation of educational programs for football players and coaches may be one of the directions of personalized strategies to reduce the risk of sport-related musculosceletal injuries in football players.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG01A8X9Z4

Abstract
This study presents an analysis of the case of a 44-year-old male patient who experienced a traumatic brain injury, resulting in spastic quadriplegia, meningitis, right-sided craniotomy, ventriculoperitoneal shunt placement, and right hip arthroplasty. Data was collected over a four-year comprehensive therapy process involving treatment periods, during which the patient was under the care of an interdisciplinary team and participated in an individualized rehabilitation program, consisting of 3-4 hours of physical therapy daily for 5-6 days per week. The material included results from functional tests, muscle tone assessments, and balance evaluations. Numerical data from robotic gait therapy devices were also considered. With the consent of the patient and his family, the therapy process was documented via video recordings and photographs, which were then used for a retrospective visual analysis of recorded material at various stages of rehabilitation. For this purpose, the ShapeCare.Fizjo device was used, along with Blaze Pose software, based on a moving person’s skeletal detection model. The results indicated that comprehensive therapy using innovative tools such as C-eye, ReoGo, ReoAmbulator, and LeviActive system improved the patient’s balance and motor skills, as well as facilitated the gait re-education process. The use of modern technologies in neurorehabilitation not only optimizes therapeutic outcomes but also reduces the risk of musculoskeletal strain for the therapist during their professional work.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG2EF8CaG

Abstract
This paper analyzes the case of a 46-year-old woman who suffered a subarachnoid hemorrhage to the left hemisphere of the brain with penetration into the ventricular system from a ruptured aneurysm of the left middle cerebral artery (cardiac arrest, critical condition, GCS 4), followed by subsequent paralysis of the lower and upper right limbs and aphasia. Data collected during a 2-year therapy process were analyzed, including examinations of the stomatognathic system, analysis of the axes and planes of the facial cranium in relation to the joint structures of the movement system, observations of the interactions of tissue structures as well as mandibular-hyoid and lingual structures, analysis of Angle’s classifications, analysis of imaging studies of the orofacial zone and neck muscle tension, results of periodic functional tests, including manual functional analysis of the masticatory system movement. A vision analysis of the material was performed using ShapeCare.Physio equipment with Blaze Pose software based on a model for detecting the skeleton of a moving person. It was found that treatment including myofunctional therapy of the masticatory system movement contributed to the improvement of the patient’s motor efficiency after suffering a subarachnoid hemorrhage to the left hemisphere of the brain and after a frontotemporo-parietal craniotomy.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG07B93B

Abstract
Introduction. Back pain is a serious medical and social problem. The aim of this study was relationships between the quality of life and the intensity of pain and functional efficiency in women and men with degenerative changes in the lumbar spine.
Material and methods. The study involved 53 women and 52 men, who, due to chronic pain in the lumbar spine due to degenerative changes, were qualified for therapy at the Local Government Health Center in Miedziana Gora. The research tool was NRS scale, Oswestry Distability Index ODI and shortened version of the survey WHOQOL-BREF. The collected research results were analysed with the use of Mann-Whitney U test, Chi-square test and Spearman rank correlation.
Results. Statistically significant differences in the values of the ODI questionnaire relating to the category “care” (p = 0.046) were found. In men, statistically significant negative associations between body build and the WHOQOL-BREF survey values concerning the somatic (p = 0.012), psychological (p = 0.007) and social (p = 0.022) domains were found. Statistically significant positive associations between the intensity of pain and functional capacity according to the ODI were found in both sexes (p < 0.001). Statistically significant negative relationships between the NRS value and the psychological domain were noted in women (p = 0.023), and with the somatic (p < 0.001), psychological (p = 0.006), socjal (p = 0.013) and environmental (p < 0.001) domain in men.
Wnioski. In terms of functional efficiency, men with back pain caused by degenerative changes are characterized by greater limitations in terms of activities related to care. In men, the increase in BMI is accompanied by a decrease in the quality of life in the somatic, psychological and social domains. In both sexes, the increase in the intensity of back pain affects the deterioration of functional efficiency. In women, the increase in the intensity of pain was associated with a decrease in the quality of life in the psychological domain, and in men in the somatic, psychological, social and environmental domains.

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
Introduction. Dentists, due to the specificity of their professional work, consisting in prolonged stay in a static sitting position, frequent tilting and rotation of the torso, repeated sequences of movements, are at risk of diseases of the musculoskeletal system, which can lead to disability. The aim of this study was to evaluate an impact of chosen factors on the degree of disability resulting from pain in the cervical and lumbar spine among dentists.
Material and methods. The results of a diagnostic survey performed among 97 professional active dentists aged 30-40 years, who during 2 years preceding the study experienced back pain, were analysed. 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 Mann-Whitney U test and Spearman rank correlation.
Results. Only 4% of dentists declared reliable compliance with the principles of ergonomics at work, and 72% of respondents undertook physical activity in their free time. No statistically significant relationships were found between age, body composition, seniority in the profession of a dentist, the number of working hours per day, and the level of disability determined on the basis of the NDI and ODI. Working from lateral or posterior access, taking up physical activity, and using physiotherapeutic procedures were not factors differentiating the level of disability of the respondents.
Conclusions. There is a need to create programs popularizing the need for reliable compliance with the principles of ergonomics in the profession of a dentist, and the implementation of new concepts of work organisation with reference to researched professional group.

Abstract
Introduction. Pain in the lumbar spine is a medical and social problem in highly developed countries. In Europe, about 25-43% of people suffer from them. Approximately 25-60% of patients suffer from chronic, progressive ailments, which lead to both incapacity for work and limitation of activities of daily living. The aim of the study was to assess the impact of classic massage on pain and functional state of people with lumbar discopathy.
Material and methods. The study included 61 people aged 45–50, attending therapy at the Independent Public Health Care Facility in Leżajsk due to pain in the lumbar spine. Patients were classified into 2 groups, depending on the applied rehabilitation program. The research tool was the NRS scale and questionnaires: ODI i RMDQ. The Chi-square test, Mann-Whitney U test, Wilcoxon test, Pearson linear correlation and Spearman rank correlation were used for analyses.
Results. After treatment statistically significant reduction of pain and improvement of functional efficiency were noted in both groups. A statistically significant positive relationship was found between the amount of improvement in functional capacity assessed by the ODI questionnaire and the age of patients (R = 0.43; p = 0.026).
Conclusions. Classical massage has an effect on relieving pain and improving functional performance in people with lumbar discopathy. There are relationships between functional performance and age in people with lumbar discopathy. The improvement in functional performance is smaller with age. Body build is not a factor affecting the severity of pain and functional performance of people with lumbar discopathy.
